Wilson Academic Advancement Scholarships are awarded to academically strong first-year students who are committed to community service and plan to attend graduate or professional studies after receiving the baccalaureate degree. This is a three-year award, ranging between $1,500 to $6,000 per academic year depending on merit and financial need. Applications are due in the spring quarter.
Each Wilson Scholar will meet regularly with the professional staff of the AAP Counseling and Mentoring Programs to devise an academic plan leading to the pursuit of an advanced degree. Students will be paired with an AAP Graduate Mentor who will provide students with professional advice and mentoring in their areas of interest. Mentors also advise students on developing their resumes or curriculum vitae, personal and professional statements and obtaining strong letters of recommendations from professors and employers. Finally, Wilson Scholars are encouraged to participate in various programs within AAP and the College of Letters and Sciences, including but not limited to: College Honors, the McNair Research Scholars Program, the Community Development and Social Justice Scholars Program, MARC and CARE.
