Curriculum and Advocacy

Fundraising/Event Planning
Whether we are soliciting for the annual scholarship fund, having a WABSE tag sale, organizing a step show or hosting a party, this committee seeks to raise funds to support graduating seniors throughout Westchester, as they prepare for the financial burden of college. If you are interested, please contact us. Scholarship
Annually, we give scholarships to graduating seniors of African descent in high schools throughout Westchester. We present these scholarships at Senior Awards ceremonies. Members of WABSE solicit scholarship applications from eligible students in their districts and this committee selects awardees. If you are interested, please contact us. Parent Outreach
