Subsidy Program

To help support your efforts, we would like to offer assistance when you are considering joining a professional organization. At times, there are monetary fees associated with organizations and Career Services would like to supplement those costs, if possible. However, funds are limited and it will be a first come, first serve system (a cap of $50 per student, per year maximum will be considered).

Please contact Kim Plusch in the Career Services Office with any questions at (302) 356-6790 or kim.l.plusch@wilmu.edu.
