Scholarships have been
a main priority of the board of trustees since the inception of
the WCAA, Inc. Their first act was to establish an International
Student Scholarship. The popular Peabody Scholarships for
non-traditional students followed soon after, and in 1986 the
Association awarded what was then the
only 4-year, full-ride, merit-based scholarship at Miami.
Today, endowments and annual giving fund these plus a variety of
multicultural scholarships for foreign students, U.S. residents,
and international exchange students. At
weekend board meetings in Oxford, everyone in attendance is
called upon to read applications -- an enlightening, often
moving, and always rewarding experience. The highlight of these
weekends is unquestionably lunch at the Lodge with many of our
outstanding scholars as our guests.
