June Morrison Scholarship Fund

The June Morrison Scholarship provides supplemental funds ($100) to support student member participation at the annual conference. A maximum of five awards will be made to students attending the annual meeting of the WSC. In the event that there are more than five eligible applications, the awards committee will randomly select five recipients. Please note that this scholarship is not related to the Student Paper Competition. All students attending the annual meeting are encouraged to apply.
