Alumni Legacy Scholarship Fund
In 2002, a group of Wallace alumni decided to honor what Dwane and Velma Wallace did for them by creating the Wallace Alumni Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund. The original goal set by this group was to raise $100,000. To-date, that goal has nearly been met. As part of the 35th Wallace Alumni Reunion, these fundraising efforts are being renewed - with an increased goal of $150,000.
Currently, the payout is one $3,000 scholarship awarded to one student in the fall semester of their 5th year.
A gift designated to this fund will not only assist in reaching this goal, but, more importantly, will honor Dwane and Velma. It will also support WSU College of Engineering students with a scholarship like the one you once received. In addition, your gift will be eligible to be matched by the state of Kansas through Senate Bill 127.
Help us continue this legacy at Wichita State University by making your gift online.
If you have questions, please contact Kim Bair, director of development for the College of Engineering.
