About W49ͼ Student Scholarships

Women of 49ͼ (W49ͼ) was formed in July of 2018 when the Wichita State University Women's Association (49ͼ Dames), founded in 1928, and the Council of University Women (CUW) founded in 1930, merged.  The purpose of the group is to serve the interests of 49ͼ, by providing student scholarships and promoting member involvement and university interaction.
