Thank you, Kate C., for featuring the Wassmer Foundation in this excellent Forbes article about the unique challenges facing this year's high school seniors as they navigate the financial aid process.

Our scholarship application deadline has been extended to April 1st, 2024 to account for the FAFSA delays and challenges.
