Wayne State University scholarships
10 April 2023
Most of us recognize the importance of college scholarships. Based on my work establishing the Detroit College Promise scholarship (different from the Detroit Promise), I know that for many students, the receipt of a scholarship has a powerful personal impact on the importance of education and helps them get a college education that they did not think was possible. For others, it makes college a better experience because they don’t have to worry so much about financing.
I received a 4 year scholarship to Wayne State University (WSU) from 1975-1979, and although the tuition then was only $1,000 per year, the scholarship was very helpful to me. At the time, WSU requested that I “give back” when I was able to, and admittedly, I never thought that would be possible. Several years ago, my uncle asked me to administer his scholarship at WSU. Later, I set up a WSU scholarship to honor my parents and now my business has also set up a WSU scholarship. These scholarships are often not visible on the college websites but the departments know about them and students should ask.
I have included two letters recently received from recipients of these scholarships. I hope they inspire you to contribute to higher education, if possible.
