LWU creates scholarship for Red Onion State Prison employees By Duane Bonifer Pound, VA - Lindsey Wilson University and Red Onion State Prison have launched a partnership to expand educational opportunities to employees at the state institution. The agreement makes the prison's full-time and part-time employees and their immediate family members eligible to receive scholarship opportunities through Lindsey Wilson. The scholarship will be available to students enrolled in Lindsey Wilson bachelor's programs in business administration, communication, criminal justice, human services and counseling, and nursing. It will also apply to the university's graduate programs in applied machine learning and artificial intelligence; business administration; counseling; cybersecurity management; data science; and technology management. The agreement also applies to the university's doctoral program in counselor education and supervision. The academic programs in Lindsey Wilson Educational Outreach are offered in traditional, online and hybrid formats. "At the Virginia Department of Corrections, our mission is to empower the individuals we serve and drive positive change," said Red Onion Warden David Anderson. "Our partnership with Lindsey Wilson University exemplifies this commitment, creating exceptional pathways for our staff to achieve their educational objectives, elevate their careers and build a brighter future." Red Onion Senior Mental Health Clinician Edward Richie Creech knows as well as anyone the value of a Lindsey Wilson education. Creech earned his bachelor's degree in human services and counseling as well as his master's degree in counseling from Lindsey Wilson. "We are thrilled to celebrate a new partnership that will directly benefit my Red Onion work family by helping them achieve their educational and career aspirations at a more affordable cost," said Creech. "As a graduate of Lindsey Wilson's bachelor's and master's programs, I know how strong their education is. Lindsey Wilson provided me with valuable degrees and gave me the clarity and direction needed to succeed in my career and life. We look forward to seeing our team grow through this collaboration." Lindsey Wilson Director of Enrollment Ryan Vitatoe said that university officials were impressed with Red Onion's "commitment to safety, rehabilitation and service." "That commitment aligns well with our mission of creating educational opportunities that transform lives and strengthen communities," said Vitatoe. "There is a strong tradition of Lindsey Wilson alumni working at this facility, and we are thrilled to offer our many programs to employees and their immediate family members. I appreciate the hard work by Edward Creech and David Anderson to make this possible, and I look forward to a long partnership ahead." This story was posted on 2026-07-23 08:39:13
