Westwood College is proud to announce the 2011 PATH to Success Scholarship which honors the vision and commitment of Westwood students. The purpose of this scholarship is to reward students who are taking control of their future through dedicated career planning and action. Last year, Westwood awarded over $80,000 to deserving students to help pay for their college education.
“My education is the most important thing in my life. Knowing that I am doing something with my life keeps me going and gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I have survived and overcome a lot in my twenty-two years on the planet. I take my educational career seriously and intend to carry that dedication and passion to my planning my career in the legal field and doing what I need to do while I am in school to get a good job.”
