Scholarship Fund
The singular purpose of this Scholarship Fund is to provide an annual opportunity for a deserving but financially challenged student to attend the accredited college field studies program. Scholarship support is specifically aimed toward individuals who could not otherwise afford to participate.
The Fund was created in 2006 with a generous donation from Jim and Ann Johnston, whose son Tod participated in the college program in 1998 and reported “an awesome life and education experience.” The Fund has provided scholarships to over a dozen students since its inception.
The WMC currently partners with The Evergreen State College to offer this high-quality, accredited academic field program. Scholarship awards are determined by an independent WMC Scholarship Committee after rigorous review of applications.
The college field program remains a cornerstone of the Wrangell Mountains Center and is often described by participants as transformative and empowering.
Thank you for your support of the Ed and Marion Doherty Scholarship Fund
