Historic Christian Leader scholarship offers student research opportunity at WU
Waynesburg University will offer The Mary Helen and Bill George Annual Scholarship for the Study of Historic Christian Leaders to eligible applicants.
The fund will provide an annual scholarship that encourages and inspires a student at WU to study and write about a Christian leader in historical context along with his or her application of leadership skills. The scholarship will cover tuition, room and board over a 12-month period for a student in return for their research.
The goal of this scholarship is to develop a library of scholarly research related to understanding the leadership characteristics of significant Christian leaders and their impact on the world, available on campus.
Current university undergraduate juniors and seniors as well as graduate students, including graduate assistants, may apply for the scholarship.
Candidates must submit a research proposal for review and consideration along with completing a brief application. The recipient will be mentored by a member of the selection committee, who will also help in the development and review of the research paper. After completing the research and paper, the recipient will share their work in a public forum on campus.
Applications are currently being accepted for the 2024-2025 academic year and are due by Monday, June 17. For more information, please contact Sumpter at jdsumpte@waynesburg.edu.
