Richard and Wanda Wilson Angus Scholarship

Funded by the American Angus Association in 2017, the Richard and Wanda Wilson Scholarship Endowment Fund was established to recognize Rich’s distinguished 48 years of service to the Association and its members. During Rich’s tenure in the Association’s Department of Finance, the entities Certified Angus Beef LLC, Angus Foundation, Angus Productions, Inc., and Angus Genetics, Inc., were formed. Through his exemplary leadership and guidance as the Association’s long-time Chief Financial Officer, the organization’s consolidated net assets grew to more than $65 million from 1968-2017. The Richard and Wanda Wilson Scholarship Endowment Fund will provide scholarships to Angus youth enrolled in a finance, business management, economics or accounting academic major. First preference will be given to continuing students who have completed two years of college. Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA (cumulative) to be eligible to receive this scholarship.
