HELEN WRIGHT SCHOLARSHIPSThe WFAA has awarded scholarships to

talented students since 1964.

The first scholarship winner was David Huffman from Woodstock High School who was awarded $100. On April 28, 2016 we awarded $10,000 to ten remarkable seniors

from throughout McHenry County.

In 1995, the WFAA named the scholarship for Helen Wright in honor of her devotion to

Woodstock Fine Arts Association, the Woodstock Opera House, and her

energetic support for the arts in McHenry County.

The ten students honored this year are a moving reflection of the importance Helen Wright placed on the

arts as an essential part of life.
