The David and Dovetta Wilson Scholarship Fund
Founded by the 9 children of David and Dovetta Wilson to honor a legacy of faith, community service, and the belief that through education, anything is possible.
The mission of the David & Dovetta Wilson Scholarship Fund is to award scholarships to selected Seniors attending Public High Schools in the United States and to promote academic achievement and excellence.
The David & Dovetta Wilson Scholarship Fund (DDWSF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization dedicated to assisting America’s young people with their quest for higher education. We are a volunteer-driven public charity and dispense nine awards per year to deserving high school seniors that plan to attend accredited colleges and universities.
DDWSF provides nine David & Dovetta Wilson Scholarships annually and distributes umbrella awards to recipients on behalf of families and individuals invested in the support of education and leadership. DDWSF invites all Scholar Recipients into the Wilson Fund family, establishing connections with, and among, cohorts
DDWSF Scholarship Recipients excel academically, engage 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.
In addition to our awards programming, we also have a growing scholar support program of which we are increasingly proud.
