Seniors Encouraged to Apply for Scholarship

Oklahoma students looking to attend college are

encouraged to apply for a scholarship from the Jason C. Wagner Foundation, a fund established by AT&T attorney Amy Wagner Collins to honor her late husband. The Foundations primary focus is to award college scholarships to graduating high school seniors in Oklahoma. Scholarships are awarded to applicants who,

in the Foundations view, most exemplify the characteristics Jason Wagner had in life: integrity, intelligence and kindness. Jason was so full of life, Collins said. My hope is that through the Foundation, his legacy will live on and that because of his life, the lives of our fellow Oklahomans will be enriched

through the gift of education. I know he would be honored by the success our scholarship recipients have achieved, and thats really our purpose: to honor Jason, and to help others achieve their dreams. Students who are selected by the Foundation will receive at least a $1,000 scholarship to be used at

the Oklahoma college of their choice. To date, the Foundation has raised and awarded more than $60,000 in college scholarships to Oklahoma students. The Foundation is funded by private donations and has received financial support from AT&T; Collins, Zorn & Wagner; The Association of County Commissioners of

Oklahoma (ACCO); Wedel, Rahill & Associates; Professional Reporters and other organizations and individuals. Scholarship applications for the 2014-2015 school year are due May 1. Additional information, including a scholarship application, is available at www.jasoncwagnerfoundation.org.
