Three awarded Wilson Scholarship

Jamestown College has awarded the full-tuition Wilson Scholarship to three high school seniors.

Jennifer Neva, Jamestown, Anne Schmaltz, Rugby, N.D., and Sarah Didychuk, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, were selected among students participating in an on-campus interview, essay and examination process in February.

The Wilson Scholarship provides full tuition renewable for four years. It was established in memory of the late John L. Wilson and his wife, Palma. Wilson served on the college’s board of trustees from 1957 until his death in 1983. Recipients of the scholarship must demonstrate commendable academic and leadership skills.
