Our Scholarship Program
Each year, Wilkes Communications and RiverStreet Networks invests in the future leaders of our communities by awarding scholarships to numerous high school seniors across our serving areas.
The deadline for all applications is April 7, 2023.
About the Program
In 2008, Wilkes Communications established a scholarship program to support high school graduates throughout the service area. Each Spring, the Scholarship Selection Committee reviews applications and awards scholarships to commendable graduates furthering their educational journey. Since the program began we have proudly awarded more than $400,000 to over 400 seniors.
Disclaimer: The Scholarship disbursement will be paid directly to the college or university according to the institution’s payment policy, after RiverStreet Networks receives a letter from the recipient confirming his/her enrollment. The scholarship must be utilized within one year.
