Thanks to the help of these review panel and selection committee members, Wake Forest students and alumni were named as recipients or finalists for many competitive scholarship awards in the 2025-2026 academic year. Preparing candidates for the national stage is a serious communal undertaking, and scores of faculty, staff, and alumni came together with the Scholars Office to help our students succeed. We are grateful for the service of the Committee members and to every individual who wrote a letter of recommendation on behalf of their students—or encouraged a student to apply!
