Media invited to announcement of College of Engineering Wallace Scholars Media invited to announcement of College of Engineering Wallace Scholars

Wichita State University's College of Engineering will name 11 high school seniors as Wallace Scholars at the Wallace Scholar announcement and reception at 10 a.m. tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 17) in the Marcus Welcome Center. Wallace Scholarship recipients will receive $28,000 each to attend Wichita State for four years.

Selection for the Wallace Scholarship is based on recipients' high school GPA, ACT scores and performance at the annual Wallace Invitational for Scholarships in Engineering, which was held in November.

Wallace Scholars are a community of more than 40 engineering students from every class and nearly every major in the College of Engineering. Wallace Scholars are involved on the WSU campus and within the Wichita community to promote engineering, math, science and community service.

The Wallace Scholarship is made possible through the Dwane and Velma Wallace Endowment, created in 1976, which supports scholarships for engineering students and provides funds for the College of Engineering. Since 1980, the endowment has benefited more than 300 engineering majors at WSU.
