Wicker Scholarship for UNC-Chapel Hill freshmen entering in 2010

If you are a local government employee with a rising high school senior who is accepted this year by UNC-Chapel Hill, consider applying for the Jake Wicker Scholarship.

Each spring the UNC-Chapel Hill Office of Scholarships seeks freshmen undergraduate applicants for this $1,000 scholarship.

The student must have at least one parent who has been continuously employed full-time by a North Carolina city or county government for at least five years prior to Jan. 1, 2010. The scholarship is awarded based on relative financial need and academic promise.

Applications must be received by April 1, 2010. For more information, contact Torie Davis at torie_davis@unc.edu or (919) 843-1619.

The scholarship was created by the 1990 Municipal and County Administration class to honor the course director, Warren Jake Wicker, who was a member of the School of Government faculty for 48 years.
