SCHOLARSHIPS
The Elmbrook Education Foundation (previously the Lancer-Spartan Scholarship Fund) supports the community's value on continuing education by sustaining and enhancing its Scholarship Program. Today, approximately 1 out of every 10 of our graduating seniors receives an EEF-administered scholarship donated by area businesses and individuals wishing to recognize them for their accomplishments, and to help them pursue a post-secondary education. The Foundation's scholarship committee matches recipients to the specific criteria of its donors. Recipients show a commitment to their education, a sincere desire to serve others, and/or the ability to overcome challenges in an effort to reach personal goals. To date, the Foundation has administered over $1.8M in merit and need-based scholarships to nearly 1,300 students planning to attend either a University or Technical School.
Mission
It is the mission of the Elmbrook Education Foundation to award scholarships based on merit. As such, all scholarship applications are reviewed as a blind read where scholarship committee members have no visibility to the applicant’s name, but rather use randomly assigned ID numbers when reviewing the applications. The scholarship chairperson is the only member of the review committee who knows the identity of each applicant. The 2025-2026 scholarship committee is composed of eight EEF board members and six community members including the scholarship chairperson.

Award Disbursement for EEF Scholarships
EEF Scholarships provide a one-time award of either $1000, $1500, $2000, $2500 or $5000 paid out during the recipient's freshman year. All scholarships are paid out when the recipient’s tuition bill is received. The tuition bill must be sent to:
Elmbrook Education Foundation
c/o WCCF
2727 N. Grandview Blvd., Suite 301
Waukesha, Wisconsin 53188
Upon receipt of the attendance verification, scholarship funds will be issued directly to the institution. Scholarships not claimed by December 31st of the recipient's freshman year will be forfeited.
Scholarship Publicity
Publicizing the EEF scholarship program is a critical component of raising the funds required to sustain the scholarship program. Consequently, the Foundation asks all EEF scholarship recipients to make themselves available for press photos.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Scholarship Sponsors
Most EEF scholarships are presented in the name of community members, businesses, civic organizations and honorary/memorial funds who have sponsored the scholarships in full. In addition, the EEF receives donations toward the scholarship program which collectively enable the Foundation to award additional scholarships each year.
How Can You Help?
The Foundation makes it easy for you or your organization to sponsor a scholarship. You supply the donor criteria, we select the recipient on your behalf. You or your organization will be recognized at each school's award night, as well as recognition in local media releases. Additional recognition is provided at our community events each year. Named scholarships must be fully funded; however, a donation to the scholarship fund may be made in any amount. Making a donation to the EEF scholarship fund, is truly an investment in the future of our community and a wonderful opportunity to honor an individual or your organization.
