Pope Wright Memorial Scholarship extends legacy of former professor, supports underrepresented students
The scholarship is a continuation of the one-time memorial scholarship established by friends and family of Wright when he passed in 2015.
The University of Wisconsin-Superior Foundation has announced the continuation of the Pope Wright Memorial Scholarship as part of its efforts to extend the legacy of former professor, William “Pope” Wright Jr. and support underrepresented minority groups.
The scholarship was established as a one-time memorial scholarship by friends and family of Wright when he passed in 2015 and an award was made to a UWS student last year. Now, as part of the recent naming and dedication of the William “Pope” Wright Jr. Student Center on campus, the UW-Superior Foundation is continuing the scholarship and inviting people to contribute to the fund.
Two scholarship awards will be made annually to an incoming freshman or transfer student and one to a returning student with the following criteria for both:
- Full-time, Underrepresented Minority Student (preference given to African American or Native American Students)
- 2.75 Cumulative GPA
- Student must demonstrate financial need
Gifts can be made to the Pope Wright Memorial Scholarship online at uwsuper.edu/give.
UW-Superior students have many scholarship opportunities through funds established by alumni and friends of the university through the UW-Superior Foundation. Check out the UW-Superior Foundation scholarship list for more information. |
