The Wilma Adams

Annual Scholarship

MLAGC’s annual scholarship was established in honor of Wilma Adams, a revolutionary in the mortgage business in the 70’s. Wilma worked for South Carolina National Mortgage and broke many glass ceiling’s in a predominately male-dominated industry at the time. Wilma was a strong proponent of education and well respected by all. We’re pleased to honor legacy with annual scholarship to eligible individuals.
