Wheaton College offers full scholarship to refugees
(AP) — Wheaton College will begin offering a full scholarship to one refugee annually with special preference to candidates living in countries included in President Donald Trump's travel ban.
According to the scholarship page, students who qualify as refugees interested in signing up for the scholarship are required to submit a 100-200 word personal statement outlining their background and what receiving the scholarship would mean to them or write about this topic in the application essay.
"By providing scholarship support to refugees from these countries, we extend the hand of opportunity and friendship to those who need it most and offer a model to our nation for more constructive engagement with the world," Hanno wrote.
