Our organization offers nine David & Dovetta Wilson Scholarships annually to eligible graduating seniors from public high schools in the United States. Recipients excel academically, possess a strong record of engagement in civic and religious acts of service, and demonstrate a commitment to use their education to give back to our local, state and national communities.
DDWSF invites all Scholar Recipients into the Wilson Fund family, establishing connections with, and among, cohorts. We work to support our scholars for their entire collegiate and learning journey – through to degree completion and beyond – while always providing our scholars with a platform to lead.

Undergraduate Support Scholarship
In 2019, DDWSF Board of Directors established the Undergraduate Support Scholarship – a program designed to provide continuous financial support to Wilson Fund Scholars as they pursue their collegiate goals. Recipients of the David & Dovetta Wilson Scholarship are now eligible to receive additional funds over the course of their undergraduate career.
As of 2023-24, we have awarded over 143 grants to Wilson Fund Scholars attending higher education beyond freshman year – in sum totaling more than $100,000 in financial support. Our deserving recipients provide evidence of their academic achievement and testimonials of their community service on campus.
Interested Wilson Fund Scholars are invited to contact us for more information. The 2024 deadline is April 30th. Only currently enrolled undergraduate David & Dovetta Wilson Scholarship Recipients may apply.

It is challenging at times. Thanks for your continued support. It means so much to me. Yes I was contacted and hope I can contribute to the DDWSF . The semester is hectic. I just finished midterms and getting ready for an upcoming production , on top of my class load. But I love it. Thanks again for everything!” Sincerely, Andrew
I would just like to express my thanks and gratitude towards the DDWSF. You all have played an instrumental role in making my first year of college amazing. From receiving that amazing care package to the simple checkup emails, I have constantly felt the unwavering support, and it has meant everything to me. When the Black Lives Matter protest began, I was so thrilled to receive the letter from you all offering support to scholars like me who continue to march for fair treatment and equal rights. No other scholarship fund has been this active in ensuring that I feel their presence. So thank you so much for all that you do!
