Wheeler, Wilson and Johnson Scholarships
WWJ scholarships help college-bound scholars alleviate some of their families' financial burdens they might encounter sending their children to college. Through our scholarships, we look to represent the community and the people they are accountable to, and instill a greater sense of belonging and motivation to make it through higher education.
Our Fall 2024 Scholarship winners were selected, check the Scholarships tab for more information.
College Dorm Drive
The Dorm Drive Project was initiated in 2018 to support a high school senior’s transition to college by purchasing dorm room supplies. A committee comprised of WWJ Members organize into teams and are assigned a dorm drive recipient. To date, the Dorm Drive has furnished 12 dorm rooms for first-time fabulous freshmen.
