BOONE, N.C. — App State football alum Steve Wilks, a former NFL head coach, and his wife are making an impact in support of App State Athletics by giving a gift to the Keep Climbing initiative that includes establishing the Steve & Marcia Wilks Post-Graduate Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship.
The yearly scholarship will be designated to one Mountaineer student-athlete from an underrepresented population who is pursuing a graduate degree at Appalachian State University. Each year's recipient will also be provided an internship within the athletics department that will focus on developing transferable skills, networking, mentorship and professional development.
