Legacy Scholarship Information

Funded by annual contributions to the Wright State University Foundation and by special fund-raising events sponsored by the Alumni Association, the Legacy Scholarship Fund has provided student scholarships since 1994.  Legacy Scholarships support those students who are the immediate family members (spouse, child, legal dependent, stepchild or grandchild) of a Wright State graduate who is a current annual member  (in at least their third consecutive year of membership) or a paid-in-full life member at the time of application of the WSU Alumni Association.  The award amount varies but can be up to $1000 per academic year.  The scholarship is not automatic. The student must reapply annually.  For more information, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (937) 775-2620 or the Office of Financial Aid at (937) 775-5721.

CONTINUING THE LEGACY

It’s hard to believe it’s been over 40 years since the Wright State University Alumni Association was founded. Over the past four decades, we have been proudly committed to supporting our alma mater, keeping our alumni connected, and providing scholarships to hundreds of Wright State students.

In today’s economy, as state and federal funding continues to decrease, private dollars for scholarships are needed now more than ever before. You have already shown your pride in Wright State through your membership in the Wright State University Alumni Association. Now you can show your commitment to helping Wright State students achieve their dream of a college education.

You can choose to support Wright State students through your gifts to any (or all) of these Alumni Association scholarship funds:

• Legacy Scholarship Fund
• African-American Alumni Society Scholars Fund
• Social Work Alumni Society Scholarship Fund

Remember, every gift, regardless of size, will change the lives of Wright State students.
