The Seita Scholarship
This is a tuition scholarship that supports Western Michigan University students who have lived some or all of their teenage years in foster care. This WMU scholarship is named to honor Dr. John Seita, who is a three-time alumnus of WMU. The scholarship pays for tuition of undergraduate courses at WMU. Books, fees, housing, food and other living expenses are not included in the scholarship; however, most or all of these costs may be covered by financial aid and available state support, thereby making it possible for a Seita Scholar to earn an undergraduate degree with few or no student loans. The Seita Scholarship is only offered to fall semester admits to WMU.
