LinC Bonner Scholar Program

The LinC Bonner Scholar Program at Washburn University is a national service scholarship program supported by the Bonner Foundation in Princeton, NJ. Washburn University recognizes the dedication and accomplishments of the students in this program by conferring the university honor of LinC Bonner Scholar upon graduation after successful completion of at least three full years with the program.
