THE WILLIS SCHOLARSHIP
The purpose of The Willis Scholarship is to invest in a student who can prove he/she will make a difference in the world by leading with confidence and integrity. Using the guidance of the book, Overeducated & Under Experienced: Navigating a Saturated Workforce by Dr. April Willis, students will be able to focus on excelling academically in order to ultimately achieve professional success.
Scholarship Description
Up to $750 will be awarded to qualified student(s) who meet all eligibility requirements, complete the application, and complete the required activities in their entirety. The scholarship(s) will be given in the form of a check to the student’s university in his/her name and applied to the student’s tuition. If the tuition has already been paid in full, then the student will receive a refund check from the university and may use that money to purchase textbooks, supplies, or other college-related expenses.
