2018-2019 WLP Annual Report

THE IMPACT OF YOUR INVESTMENT
SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS
Since our founding in 2005, WLP has awarded more than $1,000,000 in scholarships to 800+
students. These scholarship awards, paired with the unique mentoring and engagement opportunities
that WLP affords our recipients, allow worthy students to continue their education and fulfill their
dream of completing their degree at a leading public research university. Endowed scholarship funds
exist in perpetuity. To achieve the balance between making awards and sustaining principal growth,
WLP adheres to the USF Foundation spending policy established annually by the Investment
Committee of the Foundation Board of Directors, where a percentage of the earnings of each fund
are awarded in the spring to students enrolled in the following fall semester. Many WLP members
(individuals, corporations, and private foundations) have chosen to contribute at the endowment
level and have established a named scholarship to honor a special person or to serve a defined group
of USF students, or reinforce their values through their philanthropy.
We are grateful to our generous donors who have helped establish such a robust WLP Scholarship
portfolio. The following list represents the scholarships awarded or established in the 2018-2019 year.
