Sue & James Wong Memorial Scholarship
Sue Wong was a beloved mother who had a remarkable journey as a single, stay-at-home mother.
She worked hard to raise two young boys and send them to college so they could lead better lives. Tragically, her eldest son James passed away too soon, leaving behind a loving wife and two young children. Single parents have to shoulder significant burdens, and their children often have to step up to assist the family and flourish with the mentorship of only one parent.
This scholarship aims to honor their legacy by supporting a student who has lost a parent or lives in a single-parent household.
Any undergraduate student who has lost a parent or otherwise lives in a single-parent household may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, submit an essay or video telling us about yourself, your family structure, what challenges you have overcome, and how you plan to make a difference through your education. If you submit a video, write “Submitted via a video link” in the essay box.
Tell us about yourself and your family structure. What challenges have you overcome, including living with a single parent and/or losing a parent? How do you plan to make a difference in the world through your education?
