2022 Wells Mountain Initiative Scholars Program

Each year the initiative provides support to students who pursue certain educational objectives. This support is provided for post-secondary school (university, polytechnic, trade school) students. Financial support is given to cover tuition and school fees and expenses that are directly related including books and supplies. This scholarship does not always cover the full cost of tuition and associated educational expenses.

Scholarships here are granted for the entire period of study; however, to continue in this scholarship, recipients must maintain good grades, participate in community service and meet WMI deadlines for submitting an official copy of school/course grades, completing the semester report, and validation of community service hours. The scholarship can be discontinued at any time during the studies due to unsatisfactory performance.

The scholarship awards are determined after careful considerations and reviews by volunteer reviewers and the Scholarship Committee of the Board of Directors and are awarded once a year on August 1.
