The Worth County Development Authority has a unique focus on education that sets us apart from other gaming non-profits in Iowa. Early on, the dream was to affect education profoundly.
Since 2007, the WCDA has provided each high school Senior that qualifies, a scholarship to assist fulfilling the dream of access to higher education.
We are proud of how we have followed through to the residents of Worth County by providing continuing education to our young residents.
