What is the Alumni Association?
The purpose of the Alumni Association is to "promote the general welfare of Franklin Pierce University; to develop an enduring interest in all the affairs of the University throughout its alumni, undergraduate, former students and friends; and to develop an organization, which shall be the means of creating and maintaining the close association of Franklin Pierce men and women."
Why Do We Award Scholarships?
We believe that it is necessary, as alumni devoted to the efforts of the University, to be supportive of the students who contribute to the Franklin Pierce community. Thus, we award scholarships in an effort to:
1) Recognize students who are leaders.
2) Recognize students who demonstrate a commitment to their community.
3) Commend students who have demonstrated academic excellence.
4) Help in lessening the financial burden for students who demonstrate need.
What Scholarships Are Available?
The Alumni Association awards two (2) scholarships of $2500 each, contributing $1250 over two (2) semesters.
These scholarships are awarded to students who meet the following criteria:
1) Must be a sophomore, junior, or senior in the academic year of 2004-2005
2) Demonstrates qualities of leadership and citizenship
3) Demonstrates financial need
4) Must be in good academic and disciplinary standing
The Decision Process
Who is involved?
Members of the scholarship committee volunteer to review the scholarship applications. The committee is comprised of members and non-members of the board of directors. The committee is chaired by the vice president for academics of the board of directors. Each member of the committee reviews each of the applications on his own and submits his or her votes to the Committee chairperson.
What are we looking for?
The Scholarship Committee is looking for students who best exemplify the Franklin Pierce University
vision. This includes your role as an "Individual in the Community," and your understanding of "intellect and character" and "leader of conscience" in the context of your life at Franklin Pierce.
