Grants, scholarships
available for study
Grants designed especially, for
Southern Baptists are among the
many offered by Chowan College,
the only two-year school sponsored
by the Baptist State convention of
North Carolina.
Clifton Collins, director of finan
cial aid, said grants are offered
Southern Baptists who are study
ing for the ministry or other
church-related vocations, and
children and spouses of employees
of churches and agencies related to
the Southern Baptist Convention.
Ministerial students receive $500
per semester and the others $250
per semester.
He said $250 grants per semester
are offered to Baptist Children’s
Homes of North Carolina
graduates.
Presidential Scholarships
Among the top scholarships
awarded are five presidential for
full tuition and 15 academic honors
including five for three-fourths tui
tion and 10 for one-half tuition.
Collins urged students who are
interested in attending Chowan or
one of North Carolina’s other Bap
tist colleges and universities to
contact the financial aid office
about the availability of scholar
ships. He said this is important
“especially since many scholar
ships and grants are designated for
individuals in certain fields of
study or from certain geographical
areas.”
Other Aid Available
He stressed that other forms of
financial aid are available for the
state’s Baptist Colleges in addition
to grants and scholarships. “Dur
ing 1984-85, about 500 students
received financial assistance in
cluding over 350 who were involved
in work-study,” Collins com
mented.

the Scholarshare program is
designed to attract financial sup
port from alumni and friends to
help the college provide work-
study opportunities for its

Scholarshare program range from

years to help meet the increase in
requests for financial aid from
students. He said one of the newer
scholarships, the George T. Under

with a $25,000 gift from Mrs. Anne
T. Underwood of Coats in memory
of her late husband, who was one of
the college’s leading benefactors

tist Church.
The president said the scholar
ships provided by alumni and
friends to Chowan and the state’s
other Baptist colleges are “vital”
in providing a college education to
young f>eople. “Many deserving
students would not be able to at
tend Chowan, Campbell Universi

Hill College, Meredith College,
Wake Forest University or
Wingate College without scholar
ship or other financial assistance,”
Whitaker announced.
