Elon Trustee Louis DeJoy and his wife Dr. Aldona Woś of Greensboro, North Carolina, have made a second generous endowment gift to assist students with high financial need from Title I schools in Guilford County. Their gift is part of the $250 million Elon LEADS Campaign.
The gift from the DEJOYWOS Family Foundation will add four scholarships to the DeJoy-Woś Odyssey Scholars Endowment, bringing the total number of scholarships to 16.
The DeJoy-Wos Odyssey Scholars Endowment was established in 2018 following an initial lead gift from Elon Trustee Louis DeJoy and his wife Dr. Aldona Woś, of Greensboro, North Carolina. The couple are passionate about making an Elon education possible for highly motivated students attending Title I schools in Guilford County—students who would be unable to enroll at Elon without significant financial assistance.
