Foster’s Voice Scholarship

This scholarship was created by the family of Foster Atwood in order to provide a financial scholarship to students of good character. This one-time $1,000 scholarship will be awarded annually to one UTHS senior and one high school senior who attends any other HS in the greater Quad Cities (within 40 mile radius); who plans to further his or her education in a field that aims to help others live a better life.

Foster Atwood graduated from United Township High School in 2016.   At UT, Foster took a criminal justice class and went on to study law enforcement at Blackhawk College with the intention of becoming a police officer; Foster’s long-term goal was to become a detective. In Foster’s honor, Foster’s Voice will award this scholarship to students whose focus is to help others.
