Investing in the Future: Celebrating Our 2026 Windermere Foundation Scholarship Recipients!
At Windermere Real Estate Whidbey Island, we believe that investing in our community means investing in the people who will shape its future. Each year, the Windermere Foundation is proud to support local students as they take the next step toward meaningful careers. This year we’re honored to award two $2,000 scholarships to graduating seniors pursuing careers in the skilled trades.
Congratulations to our 2026 Windermere Foundation Scholarship recipients:
- Killian of Coupeville High School, who will be attending Bellingham Technical College (BTC).
- Madison of Oak Harbor High School, who will be attending Evergreen Beauty College.
We’re incredibly proud of both students and can’t wait to see all they accomplish. Their hard work, determination, and commitment to their future embody the values these scholarships were created to celebrate.
Simona Groves, shared:
“These scholarships are close to our hearts because they support students choosing vocational programs, trade schools and certification programs, paths that deserve every bit as much recognition and investment as any other. To our 2026 scholarship recipients: congratulations! Watching your hard work and dedication payoff is exactly why we do this. We couldn’t be more excited for you as you step into this next chapter. Go make something incredible!”
Supporting Education That Strengthens Our Community
At Windermere Real Estate Whidbey Island, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue the future they’ve worked so hard to build. The Windermere Foundation Scholarship was created to support students with financial need who are pursuing technical and vocational careers. This includes trade schools, certification programs, community colleges, and other hands-on educational opportunities.
These careers are the backbone of our communities. From healthcare and cosmetology to construction, manufacturing and technology. Skilled professionals make a lasting difference every day. By helping ease the financial burden of continuing education, we’re investing in students and in the future of our community.
Powered by Our Community
One of the things that makes the Windermere Foundation so meaningful is that every dollar raised by Windermere Real Estate Whidbey Island stays right here on Whidbey Island. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Foundation is dedicated to supporting low-income families with children. Thanks to the generosity of our agents, clients and community, we’re able to make a meaningful impact where it matters most.
With every home bought or sold through a Windermere agent, a portion of their compensation is donated to the Foundation. Additional support comes from local fundraising events and generous contributions from our agents. Together, these efforts create opportunities for students like Killian and Madison to pursue their dreams with greater confidence.
Congratulations, Killian and Madison!
Killian and Madison, this scholarship reflects your hard work, perseverance and dedication. We are incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone with you. It is an honor to play a small part in your journey.
As you begin this exciting new chapter, know that your community is cheering you on. Congratulations, we cannot wait to see everything that comes next for both of you!
