Helen Grauer Return to Learning Scholarship
There are many paths to higher education, and they do not all conform to the same map. Many students choose to postpone college or move directly into the workforce bypassing a university education altogether. It is only later that they decide to pursue a higher education, either to improve their professional opportunities, or to expand their general knowledge. Still other students may have had their college careers interrupted, either by growing families or financial difficulties, and only later return to complete what they had started. Wilson Communications understands that more and more adult students are heading to college and is proud to offer one, non-renewable $500 scholarship opportunity to those who fit this mold and are seeking to return to learning.
To be eligible to receive a scholarship, all items must be included and the applicants must meet the following criteria:
Adult students who are entering an educational program for the first time or are returning to complete an interrupted education.
Accepted and enrolled to a four-year college, university, junior college, vocational or trade school.
Must be either an alumni of a high school within our service area or must reside or have resided within our service area within the previous 4 years.
The application must be signed.
Each selected recipient will receive one, nonrenewable $500 award. This will be payable in a $250 installment per semester for two semesters and sent directly to the recipient’s school on their behalf. It is the recipient’s responsibility to contact our office for issuance of each installment. We encourage to submit all documents electronically. Only complete applications received by the due date will be considered. Deadline to be submitted to Wilson Communications is April 3, 2026. Applications may be either emailed to Kayla.Cullens@wilsoncom.net or mailed to Wilson Communications, Attn: Kayla Cullens, PO Box 190, Wilson KS 67490-0190.
