Widener University Receives $66,000 from W. W. Smith for Student Scholarships



Widener University will receive $66,000 from the W. W. Smith Charitable Trust to be used for student scholarships during the 2013-14 academic year, the university announced.

The university will award the Smith Scholars Program scholarships – ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 – to full-time undergraduate students in good academic standing.

In addition, all students selected for the Scholars Program must be residents of the Delaware Valley, including Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties and the cities of Camden and Philadelphia.

“Widener has enjoyed a very long relationship with the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust, and we are pleased to again be a recipient of funds from the Trust’s outstanding scholarship programs,” said Widener University President James T. Harris III. “These scholarship programs have helped hundreds of Widener University students over the years to achieve their goal of a college education and pursue their dreams.”
