Theodore A. Wilson Scholarship in Information Technology
Purpose
This scholarship is the first scholarship in the Program in Information Technology. This scholarship honors Ted Wilson's commitment to education at all levels while providing students in the Program in Information Technology with the financial resources they need to finish their degrees. Ted Wilson was a highly respected professor and researcher who dedicated 38 years of his career to advancing knowledge at all levels from sophomores to graduate students.
As the first scholarship within this program, the
Ted Wilson Scholarship plays a vital role in making sure that students,
regardless of their financial situation, can complete their education and
enter the workforce as highly trained IT professionals. He was passionate about
advising his students to continue their education and pursue their
professional goals. This drive to continue their education is a
characteristic demonstrated by many students in the Program in Information
Technology, proven by the number of transfer students in the program.
