Joan Willoughby Scholarship
The Joan Willoughby Scholarship was established in 1999 with a grant from Dr. Robert Willoughby in memory of his wife, a dedicated and beloved past president of the club.
Joan Willoughby had trained to be a nurse at Temple University in Philadelphia. The scholarship is awarded annually to a high school graduate or a nontraditional student from Washtenaw County who can demonstrate unmet financial need and is pursuing a degree in a healthcare field at Washtenaw Community College.
