Class of 1973 50th Reunion Scholarship
As we celebrate 50 years as a class, the reunion committee wants to mark this milestone in a significant way by creating an endowed scholarship to help deserving students attend Wake Forest. In fact, through the generosity of the committee, $100,000 has already been committed toward the goal of $250,000. Please join with these class members at your most generous level above and beyond your other support of Wake Forest. Collectively, the Class of 1973 can make a difference in the lives of current students and is the FIRST class to create an endowed scholarship.
