The mission of the Carl & Wadie Swanson Scholarship Foundation is to promote the growth and development of the African-American community, through education.
Purpose:
The Board of Directors for the Carl & Wadie Swanson Scholarship Foundation recognized a need for the continued support of students seeking higher education. Tuition and housing costs have risen dramatically, leaving our students without the resources necessary to continue their education. Although many of the students have maintained exemplary academic standing, they have returned home prematurely due only to a lack of funding. The Carl & Wadie Swanson Scholarship Foundation wishes to address this need by providing continued funding to students. We therefore, encourage students who have demonstrated academic success to apply to the program. We are currently offering $500 scholarships to deserving students.
