The Waklatsi Foundation Endowed Scholarship supports deserving full- or part-time undergraduate students accepted into the Williams Honors College.

Special consideration should be given to students who are affiliated with the Office of Multicultural Development. The number of recipients and scholarship amounts may vary as funds are available.
