Victoria Livingston Shaw Foundation Scholarship Awards

In the light of Vickey’s passion for education, her tenure as a Wilson Hall faculty member, PTO president, and trustee, as well as the Shaw family’s connection to Shaw Air Force Base, the Victoria Livingston Shaw Scholarship Foundation provides scholarship awards with special, though not exclusive, consideration for students of Shaw AFB families.

The scholarships vary in amount and are presented to students in grades three-year-old preschool through twelfth grade who meet the following criteria:

• Qualify for admission to Wilson Hall under normal admissions requirements
• Complete and submit the SSS Parents’ Financial Statement with the understanding financial need is a component though not exclusively so
• Award is presented as the student maintains enrollment status and at the discretion of the awards committee for a period of one, two or three years.

To apply for the scholarship, parents must complete the SSS financial application through the link provided in financial aid. Also, parents must complete the Shaw Foundation Scholarship application (Shaw Application) and email it to the Director of Admissions at seanhoskins@wilsonhall.org. Applications will be considered by the Victoria Livingston Shaw Scholarship committee and recipients will be notified by the first week in August.

Applications must be submitted by July 1st.
