Established in 2008 by Dr. William Wilson, Margaret Wilson’s son, and augmented with earlier donations by Mrs. Wilson and numerous memorial gifts after her July 2008 passing, the Margaret S. Wilson Memorial Endowed Scholarship honors Margaret Wilson’s lifelong dedication and service to Eastern. Mrs. Wilson graduated from the school when it was Willimantic State Teachers College, later returned to teach here, and retired as Executive Dean in 1989. The scholarship is awarded to a graduate or graduates of the Norwich Free Academy in good academic standing and with unmet financial need.
