WAEPA Proudly Announces 2025 Scholarship Award Winners; Organization has Awarded more $3 million since 2007
Currently in its 19th year, WAEPA’s Scholarship Program provides tuition assistance to children of our Civilian Federal membership.
WAEPA (Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies, Inc.) is excited to highlight the 2024-2025 Scholarship Program award recipients.
In total, 89 students were awarded tuition assistance this year – 79 who will attend two- and four-year colleges and universities, and 10 who will advance their skills through vocational/technical programs.
These 89 recipients represent 72 higher education institutions across 35 states. As dependent children of WAEPA’s membership of current and former Civilian Federal Employees, they also embody the dedication and excellence of the Federal workforce.
“WAEPA’s Scholarship Program is one of the most meaningful ways we support our members and their families. Each year, we are proud to invest in the next generation of leaders—students whose potential reflects the same values of service and excellence that define the Civilian Federal community.”
-M. Shane Canfield, CEO of WAEPA
WAEPA offers exclusive Group Term Life Insurance and Group Short-Term Disability Insurance to current and former Federal employees, as well as other key financial wellness resources, including this longstanding scholarship program for children of members.
