The Waterford Community Coalition is honored to announce the 2024–2025 Heather Halls Memorial Scholarship—a $2,000 award offered to one graduating senior from each of Waterford’s three high schools.

This special scholarship celebrates the legacy of Heather Halls, a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and community wellness. Heather dedicated her life to uplifting others, and this scholarship continues that mission by supporting students who are doing the same.

What makes this scholarship unique?
