The Atwood Challenge was announced to the York Community on November 18, 2021 in response to a generous gift from Dr. William B. Atwood, a close friend of York and a lifelong scientist and educator. The Atwood Challenge calls on our alumni to join him in raising a total of $120,000 for tuition assistance funding this year, the amount that would cover three students on full scholarships or five students on the average scholarship awarded at York. Dr. Atwood has already gotten us started with a gift of $25,000.
