The University will establish the Francis J. and Edith Jackson Family Foundation to help with student retention/graduation and specifically aid those students who have financial need related to family hardships like job loss, illness, and income levels.
Requirements
The monies from this fund will be used to provide financial assistance to students already enrolled at WLU who are struggling to pay a balance on their student account or are questioning their ability to continue their education because they have been faced with family hardships like job loss, illness, or are challenged by a history of low household income. Funds can be used to cover tuition, fees, room, board, or other costs of education and assist students as needed over the course of the academic year.
Recipients will complete an application administered by Financial Aid to validate their need for support through this fund.
If you are a prospective or current student interested in applying for this scholarship, please contact the Director of Financial Aid at 304-336-8016.
