Lawrence Wilson, Esq. &
Dr. Meoshia Wilson

Founders

In 2022, Fullness Foundation Inc. was established to one day eliminate financial stress from students and fund their educational and vocational pursuits. Our founders, Lawrence Wilson, Esq. and Dr. Meoshia Wilson, experienced different upbringings yet had a singular desire to increase the number of students who graduate from traditional and vocational schools without debt. Lawrence had humble beginnings and acquired a student loan to cover his first year of nursing school. He earned a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Scholarship to cover tuition, books, and fees while becoming a Resident Assistant (RA), provided room and board for the remaining four years. Dr. Meoshia’s parents paid for her first two years of undergraduate school, and her last two years were covered by an ROTC scholarship and being an RA. Both are recipients of being able to prosper academically while being sponsored financially. Their stress was not money but simply making good grades. This is the same gift they aim to give every student who wants and needs an opportunity regardless of their upbringing.

Between the two of them Lawrence and Dr. Meoshia are proud alumni of The Catholic University of America, the University of Alabama, the University of Texas at Austin, Argosy University, Virginia Union University, and Wesley Theological Seminary. By the grace of God, ROTC scholarships, military tuition assistance, and Montgomery and Post-911 GI Bill benefits have sponsored their degree programs.
