Eric DePersio Memorial Scholarship

The Eric De Persio Memorial Scholarship was established in 1991 by Dr. Edward and Pamela DePersio in memory of their son Eric, who was an outstanding student at Wenatchee High School, a golfer, and downhill skier who died in a tragic boating accident in 1991. The scholarship committee seeks to award graduating seniors of Wenatchee or WestSide High School who demonstrate financial need, scholastic ability, and have overcome obstacles as a student. This scholarship is designed to support students who plan to further their education at an accredited two or four-year college in the United States. Recipients are selected based on their demonstrated financial need, academic achievement, and ability to overcome challenges during their high school career.
