To
encourage the families of Alumni Association members to attend Wright State,
the Alumni Association is very proud to sponsor the Alumni Association
Legacy Scholarship Program. Children, stepchildren, or spouses of association
members may apply for a one-year scholarship award of $1,000, with eligibility
hinging on academic soundness rather than financial need. In the 199697
school year, we awarded $21,000 in Legacy Scholarships to help achieve
this goal. Our ambition is to help all eligible applicants.
Calendar Sales Help Sponsor Legacy Scholarships
The sale of the calendar pictured on the back cover is one way the association is funding the scholarship program. A critically important friend of this calendar project, in fact, is the driving force behind it - Mrs. Mignon Flack.
Cathy Pearson, board member and chair of the Scholarship Committee, has worked with Mrs. Flack in shepherding this project from the beginning and has been key in its successful completion.
Scholarships: One of Many Benefits
Eligibility for family members to receive a Legacy Scholarship is just one reason to join the Alumni Association. Membership provides a link - both professionally and personally - to other alumni in your area. In addition, membership provides many other benefits, which are listed on the opposite page. Please look them over carefully. Our hope is that you will join the association, the voice of WSU alumni everywhere.

"A calendar is a wonderful way to capture memories. All of the proceeds from the sale of the calendar will be placed in the Legacy Scholarship Fund. Mr. Flack and I are thrilled with the opportunity to share this project with the Alumni Association. I hope you will buy a calendar and display it proudly."
- Mingon Flack
