the Louis Russell Wilson III Memorial Scholarship

This non-endowed Louis Russell Wilson III Memorial Scholarship was established in August of 2012 by the colleagues of Russ Wilson to honor him upon his passing. Russ worked at Wayne College for more than 20 years. He served most of that time as the coordinator of academic advising. He deeply enjoyed assisting students in planning their academic schedules and encouraging them in their future goals. His colleagues at Wayne will greatly miss him and believe this scholarship is a fitting tribute, as this award will help many students achieve their future academic goals.

Russ was always quick with his smile and wit. He will be remembered for his hard work, laughter, jokes, and his kind spirit.

This memorial scholarship will provide an annual award to one recipient. Eligible students must be enrolled full time at Wayne College and demonstrate a financial need.
