Scholarships
Investing in the Future
Thanks to generous gifts from WSU alumni and friends, the Department of Sociology is able to offer numerous academic scholarships to eligible undergraduate and graduate sociology students on the Pullman and Vancouver campuses.
The financial support provided by these funds helps students engage in activities that further expand their horizons and foster success.
