Siblings Marilyn, Bill, Ed, and Jim Watterson recently created an endowed scholarship in their parent’s (Doris & Clarence Watterson) memory for students from Centralia High School to attend Centralia College. All four siblings also attended Centralia College and desired to create a living memorial to their parents through the establishment of the endowment that would also benefit Centralia High School students in their pursuit of higher education locally.
Clarence at 16 was valedictorian of the 1929 Centralia High School graduating class and Doris was a good student as well as excelling in sports, dreamed of going to college. But, they graduated from high school during the Great Depression thus college was not an option for them. However, they instilled the dream and desire of higher education in all of their children.
To apply for this scholarship and any other that the Centralia College Foundation offers, one only needs to complete one scholarship application. Please follow the link on our web page for the scholarship application. Or for more information please call the foundation office at (360) 736-9391, ext. 290.
