WICHITA, Kan. – A new fundraising campaign named the Shocker Way Fund has been established for Wichita State Athletics to engage and serve individuals within the community by aligning their philanthropic interests with strategic student-athlete development initiatives within the athletic department.
One of those initiatives is through the Alston Educational Award. The purpose of the award is to support student-athletes through education-related financial aid based on their academic achievement and retention at Wichita State University. Select sports will be eligible for the award during the 2022-23 school year.
In order to be eligible for the Alston Educational Award, student-athletes will need to meet certain academic criteria including good academic standing and grade-point average along with a retention policy.
