West Angeles Sponsorship Fund Organization

Background/Purpose:

WASFO was created to assist in furthering the development of our high school graduates through the obtaining and distribution of scholarship funds for college education. Since its creation in the academic year 1995-1996, WASFO has distributed over 200 scholarships to qualified applicants that are active members of West Angeles. Our youth are some of the brightest in the country and for this reason we want to help them succeed in their pursuit of higher learning as we help to alleviate some of their financial pressures.
