The Waccamaw Community Foundation is committed to helping students achieve their academic goals. In addition to our own WCF Educational Fund, donors can also establish scholarships to benefit students who meet specific sets of criteria.
Current WCF Scholarship Funds with required criteria are listed in the drop down under Scholarships.
If you are interested in setting up a Scholarship Fund as a legacy for your family or in tribute to a loved one please contact Jonathan P. Kresken, President, at jkresken-wcf@sc.rr.com or by calling 843-357-GIVE (4483).
