Kirk I. Woods Memorial Scholarship
Kirk I. Woods was a beloved father who passed away too soon in 2003 but left behind a strong legacy.
There are many driven students who haven’t had the same opportunities as others due to having limited funding for their education. First-generation students, in particular, often lack the resources they need to succeed and achieve their goals.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Kirk I. Woods by supporting students who are the first in their families to pursue post-high school education.
Any undergraduate or graduate student who is a first-generation college student with at least a 3.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Students with financial need are preferred.
