08/16/2018 12:01 AMThe Westbrook Foundation has awarded $145,950 in scholarships to members of the Westbrook High School (WHS) Class of 2018 and to other residents of the town pursuing post-secondary education. The scholarships will support the students as they enter the next stage of their lives at colleges, universities, and trade schools across the country.

Among the more than two dozen scholarships awarded were three in the amount of $10,000 and one in the amount of $15,000. The foundation made the decision this year to substantially increase the value of these scholarships in response to escalating tuition at many colleges and universities.
