Bill Welk Scholarship
This is a scholarship managed and run by the Bloomsburg University Foundation. For additional information, please contact officers of the Delta Pi Foundation. You can find a listing of the latest offers HERE.
Brother Bill Welk illuminated with many dynamic characteristics.
He was not only loyal, but had charisma unlike most people you meet. Bill gave a hand when needed without question and stood up for what he believed in while leading many of us in the right direction and inspiring us to be better people. Bill could also tell stories like none other. His stories not only made you laugh, but kept you at the edge of your seat begging to hear more. He had such a good heart and had a genuine personality. It is truly tragic to lose such a young kind hearted person, but it is a wonderful privilege to be able to instill Bill's thoughts and ways into all of us by forming this scholarship bearing his name. Not only does it keep Bill's memory alive, but allows us to keep giving in his name.
The Bill Welk Scholarship Committee is proud to recognize:
