Support Will's PhD Research
For almost four years, I've put my Ph.D. program on hold to defend myself against January 6 charges. My goal is to complete this research in 2026, and graduate with a Ph.D. in Leadership Communication from Kansas State University.
Following January 6, I lost my job teaching at Kansas State University. Since then, I've burned through savings and have done odd jobs to get by. I made the decision to not to ask for donations during this time, because I wanted to work to survive.
My Ph.D. will require a lot of time and focus to complete. I intend to do my research on the legal battles January 6 defendants have faced because I believe I am in a unique position to thoroughly document this and preserve the historical record. But making this research work my focus will make it difficult for me to hold another job to support myself. For that reason, I am humbly asking for you to support my dissertation work.
Most research does not get done without the support of educational grants. I am not asking for handouts, I am asking for educational grants that will allow me to do important research work.
If you would prefer to donate directly to my 529 Educational Savings Plan to save on fees and know that all contributions will go to educational expenses, you can do that here: https://www.ugift529.com/gifttpl/ugift/render/viewGoal.cs?gid=5033
If you would prefer to support my research in another way, feel free to email me at wapope@ksu.edu
May God's love be with you always.

Will, Thank you for informing and educating. You make me feel glad and unashamed to be a J6 defendant. God bless you.
Thanks for your efforts and much success going forward
Blessings on your journey
Thank you for all that you have done and will do to tell the TRUE story of J6! I was there and the police let us walk in the Upper West Terrace Door. I shook hands with police officers as I walked into the Capitol. One even told me “I support what you are doing”. They set us up. I will gladly share my story with you for your research. We will prevail! We appreciate you, Will!
You’re doing amazing things, J6 brother. I wish I could give more - but you know it’s hard when DOJ takes your life away. Reach out if you need any case info from others like myself, if that type of thing is needed for your dissertation. I’m happy to help in any way I can.
I want to read it when completed
Love you brother. You are a champion.
Keep up the great work.
Retired, fixed income. Cause is just. GOD'S speed.
Sorry so low, they've destroyed my once lucrative business. Good luck, you are a true and rare hero.

Update: Comprehensive Exams Will Be in the Spring Semester
September 17th, 2024
Update: Thanks to all who have contributed to my Ph.D. research so far. I was hoping to take comprehensive exams this fall, but the Kstate Grad School did not finalize my program of study in time for me to do exams this semester, so I am pushing them to the spring.
I've also decided to switch to primarily using a 529 Savings Plan fundraising page since this eliminates fees and allows people to know that their contributions will go directly to educational expenses.
I still intend to do my Ph.D. research on the legal battles in the January 6 cases. And will have more information on that next spring.
