Patricia Lee Wilson Social Work Memorial Scholarship Fund

Patricia Lee Wilson was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, niece, godparent and a longtime social worker who contributed so much to her community before her passing. Patricia had mentored many young people, family and future social workers. Her primary focus was on students who were in Master of Social Work programs, helping the next generation follow in her footsteps. She served as a world-class clinical social worker for over forty years in education, criminal justice, and healthcare settings. Patricia was an active voice for underrepresented communities and youth to ensure they received the resources they needed to overcome systemic struggles. Her mission was to always stand up for what is right and become the voice for those who were less fortunate and underrepresented due to the nature of their lesser social status in society. This scholarship seeks to honor the legacy of Patricia Lee Wilson by supporting students who share her commitment to uplift underrepresented citizens, support for human and community service, and commitment to the field of social work.
