Woodcock Family Education Scholarship Program
Woody Woodcock established this fund in 1985. At the time he said,
“With a firm conviction that the future of this state and the county is dependent on the quality of education of its people. This is our family’s way of returning to Albuquerque some of the success that has been ours.”
Woody passed away in early 2012 at the age of 92. He was a great friend of the Foundation and often stopped by to say hello. We will greatly miss him. Memorial contributions can be made to his fund, contact the Foundation, 505.883.6240.
