Wilson Foundation Scholarship
Become a Wilson Scholar
The major reason the Wanda and Janice Wilson Foundations exists is to provide educational opportunities for deserving young people to further their educational journey and each of the students that we are fortunate enough to invest in become Wilson Scholars. These young people become like family to us. They receive love, mentoring and in turn they are taught to pay it forward so that the next generation of Wilson Scholars can receive the same opportunities for success.​
It is a cycle of support that we pray will develop generations of future leaders.
