H.S. Seniors Asked to Apply for ScholarshipDeadline Approaching for

Wagner Foundation Applications

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 Foundation’s primary focus is to award college scholarships to graduating high school seniors in Oklahoma.

Scholarships are awarded to

applicants who, in the Founda-tion’s view, most exemplify the characteristics Jason Wagner had in life: integrity, intelli-gence 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 that’s 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 col-lege of their choice.

To date, the Foundation has raised and awarded more than $60,000 in college scholar-ships 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; Profes-sional Reporters and other organizations and individuals.

Scholarship applications for the 2014-2015 school year are due May 1.

Additional information, including a scholarship appli-cation, is available at www.jasoncwagnerfoundation.org.
