Meet the 2025-26 class of Shocker Pride Scholars

Since 1999, the Shocker Pride Scholarship has provided more than $700,000 to students at Wichita State, helping them to achieve their academic goals. In recent years, the WSU Foundation and Alumni Engagement has augmented the program to create professional development opportunities, including alumni mentoring and community experiences, in addition to financial support.

“It’s been a joy to get to know each student and help them prepare to take the next step in their professional journeys,” said Joshua Woods, associate director of alumni programming at the WSUFAE. “Every Shocker license plate makes this program a possibility.”

Kansas residents can support the Shocker Pride Scholarship program by visiting their county treasurer’s office and requesting a WSU plate, and by becoming a Shocker Pride mentor . Contact Joshua Woods at joshua.woods@wichita.edu to learn more.
