The MATTHEW WALLACE SCHOLARSHIP

About The Scholarship

 Matthew believed a person was never too young to make an impact on someone’s life.  The Matthew Wallace Foundation goal is to engage and inspire community leaders (particularly students and young adults) by promoting humanitarian values and offering goods and services in communities with under-served populations. We believe those students who emulate the way Matthew lived his life should be acknowledged in a special way. Thus far the Foundation has awarded over $100,000 in scholarship funds.
