威尔伯福斯奖学金项目

William 威尔伯福斯’s diary entry on October 28, 1787, at the age of 28 was: “God almighty has set before me two great objects, the suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of manners.” Forty-six years later, on July 26, 1833, just three days before 威尔伯福斯’s death, the House of Commons passed the bill for the abolition of slavery.

威尔伯福斯’s remarkable character traits enabled this accomplishment and are qualities of replication. The 威尔伯福斯 Scholarship is a competitive, regional, $15,000 scholarship awarded to qualified students who evidence 威尔伯福斯-type character and want to make a difference in their communities.
