Scholarship

The Wayne Cederholm II Memorial offers a annual $3,000 scholarship to a deserving high school senior planning to attend the University of Utah and who has displayed exemplary performance in service, achievement, and leadership. The scholarship is awarded through two installments of $1,500 for each of two sequential semesters ensuring access to funding for one full year of higher education. 

The WCII Memorial is proud to have awarded 11 scholarships to deserving students, totaling over $33,000 in support of their educational journeys. Each recipient embodies the values and spirit that Wayne Cederholm II stood for, and we couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments and bright futures. Watching these students grow and succeed has been a true honor, and it’s a powerful reminder of the impact this memorial continues to have. We’re excited and energized to keep this legacy alive, and we look forward to supporting even more students in the years to come.​
