The John David Robinson Scholarships

Go back to Geography Awards.

 
The Geography and History Program Areas at WSC hand out several thousand dollars each year in the name of John David Robinson, a resident of Wayne, Nebraska.  In 1999, he generously endowed Wayne State College with a scholarship fund to be awarded to outstanding Geography and/or History majors.  When asked why he wanted to apply his financial gift to Geography and History students Mr. Robinson replied, "Because I've always enjoyed looking at maps."  The Robinson Scholarship is now the largest endowment in any Social Sciences Program Area.

Who may apply?  Any WSC student (with a GPA of 3.0 or higher) who is majoring in Geography or History, or who is seeking a subject endorsement to teach in either field (i.e., GEOE or HISE).  Preference will be given to freshmen and sophomores, but students may apply at any point in their WSC career.  Stop by the Financial Aid office in Hahn 202 during late Fall semester for an application form, due usually in early January.  Hey, you never know!
