“The generous support from the Watson [Scholarship] has made it possible for students to pursue our programs, providing them the opportunity to work in our world-class facilities and with distinguished faculty. This support helps them better prepare for college and gain a better understanding of themselves and their interests. Continued support is becoming more critical for students and their families as they prepare for college, and we are grateful for the support!”

Why this matters
These experiences bring the university to the community—and the community to the university, strengthening connections and making higher education more accessible for all.
“It was fantastic connecting with like-minded folks across the state who are doing similar work and want to advance the college completion agenda for everyone!”
