Student Scholars
WMI Student Scholars are selected through a competitive application process to receive scholarship assistance. We support undergraduate students obtaining degrees in community-oriented fields, and encourage them to be the agents of change in their own communities, nations and the world. We go beyond providing financial support, ensuring our Student Scholars have all the tools needed to reach their dreams. Read more about our Scholar’s Journey.
