The Winston Sheri Wallingford Memorial Endowed Scholarship
The Winston Sheri Wallingford Memorial Endowed Scholarship was set up by her parents to remember and honor her. This $1000 scholarship is intended to support undergraduate, graduate or PHD students whose child has died. Secondary preference would be given to students who have endured the death of a sibling.
Scholarships are available to residents and most are based on financial need. Students who wish to be considered should complete the FAFSA (Fafsa.org) by the opportunity deadline. If students aren’t able to complete the FAFSA online, they can submit a paper FAFSA to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Applications without the letter of reference will NOT be considered. Applications and a letter of reference must be uploaded to AcademicWorks by March 31, 2023.
