Wathen Grant

The Wathen Fund was created by Thomas W. Wathen a Vincennes native and 1949 VU graduate, during the University’s Third Century of Excellence capital campaign. The $1 million gift to establish the fund was made to assist VU in advancing its educational mission by addressing the technology challenges of the future. Mr. Wathen endowed the fund with the VU Foundation and the annual income from the gift is used to award the grants. Faculty may apply for a grant through the annual call for proposals.
