Imagine learning that your child is ill and you will need to travel to a different city to receive the medical care they need – away from your home, your job and your support system. This is the reality for the families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and warm “home-away-from-home” for these families – so they can stay together as a family and focus solely on the health of their child.
The Wilma Potter Scholarship Fund was established in 1999 in honor of Wilma Potter, Resident Manager of the Ronald McDonald House from 1985 – 1999. The scholarship pays tribute to Wilma Potter and to the many patients, parents, and siblings who have met the challenge of a serious illness with dignity and determination. Scholarship recipients are selected based on academic achievement, financial need, and their personal qualities and strengths as attested to in their essay. Recipients must enroll in and attend an accredited university, college or trade school and provide verification of enrollment. Scholarship funds are paid directly to the school where the recipient has enrolled. Scholarship recipients will be notified in mid-May.
