Leland Wilson Memorial Chemistry and Biochemistry Endowed Scholarship

The Leland Wilson Memorial Chemistry and Biochemistry Scholarship is established at La Sierra University by Chemistry professor Dr. Wilson’s former students to honor and continue his legacy of encouraging undergraduate involvement in scientific research and his passion for helping students who need a “boost” to reach their academic and career goals. He took an interest in the lives of Chemistry students, offering a listening ear, helping hand, and encouragement along with occasional financial assistance enabling them to remain enrolled and gain valuable research experience in faculty labs. As a tribute to Leland Wilson, Ph.D. and his long career in Adventist education at La Sierra and abroad, this fund is intended to enable Chemistry students to focus on their studies and gain experience working on research with faculty.
