Washington and Lee University Scholarship Certificates collection
Scope and Contents
This collection contains certificates issued to donors who financially sponsored scholarships to aid students attending Washington and Lee University post-Civil War. The donors were from various states, including Louisiana, Missouri, and Florida. Two of the donors were women. Several certificates still have coupons that were associated with their gift of supporting students. All of the certificates have been cancelled, which presumably means the funding ended. Some certificates have a red seal that includes the date 1782.
