WSU Women's Association to raise money for student scholarships WSU Women's Association to raise money for student scholarships

Founded in 1928, the Wichita State University Women's Association existed for the purpose of organizing and sponsoring faculty social activities. The organization continues to serve the interests of WSU, by providing student scholarships and promoting member involvement and university interaction. This year the WSU Women's Association is having a mail-in donation event, with 100 percent of the donations going to the scholarship fund. Please mail your donation to the WSU Women's Association Dames Scholarship fund at campus box 117 or contact Patsy Selby at the WSU Foundation.

WSU Dames Endowed Scholarships are awarded annually to student enrolled full- or part-time at Wichita State University who have financial need. No recipient will be excluded from consideration on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, political affiliation, status as a veteran, genetic information or disability. However, consideration will be given to nontraditional, female candidates.

Each March, the organization has a fundraiser to raise money for the WSU Dames Endowed Scholarship fund. This annual event adds almost $3,000 and provides several scholarships for WSU students.

If you have questions please contact Corinne Nilsen, Scholarship Chair at wsuwomens.assn@wichita.edu.
