Who Can Apply:
- The Wade Empire Future Creators Scholarship supports Michigan high school seniors who plan to pursue higher education and are committed to building a meaningful future by creating opportunities rather than simply waiting for them.
- I still remember receiving one of my first major scholarships as a student and how meaningful that support felt during my educational journey. That experience stayed with me and inspired me to create this scholarship to help students who are ready to work hard and build something meaningful for their future.
- While students interested in media, communications, digital content, or entrepreneurship are especially encouraged to apply, students pursuing any field of study are welcome. Strong candidates will demonstrate creativity, initiative, leadership, and a genuine desire to grow and make the most of the opportunities ahead of them.
- Any high school senior who is a Michigan resident may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re pursuing media, communications, content creation, or social media.
