Wentcher Scholars in Photos

In developing the Wentcher Foundation’s new website, we sought to feature Wentcher Scholars as much as possible in the updated design. Our goal is to highlight Wentcher Scholars, sharing their achievements, activities, and college experiences.

With 19 years of awards and over 800 current scholars and alumni, we didn’t want to miss another chance to highlight the CPS High Schools these scholars graduated from and the bold dreams that carried them to universities nationwide.

We hope in these photos help you see yourself as a Wentcher Scholar, learn more about the Wentcher Foundation’s scholarships on the APPLY page today.
