Foundation Awards over $100,000 for 1998-1999
With forty grants totaling just
over $100,000, 1998 has been
another banner year for the
recipients of the Foundation's grants. As
the resources of the Phi Delta Theta Educational
Foundation have grown, the
Trustees have increased the funds available
for scholarships.
And for the first time this year, the
Trustees opened the Foundation's coffers
to graduate students. (See the article
about the first-ever fellowship recipients
on page 9.) The decision to award graduate
fellowships pushed this year's awards
to $100,200, the largest amount we've
ever presented in a single year.
This year's recipients of the Arthur R.
Priest Award, the Robert J. Miller Leadership
Award, and the Francis D. Lyon
Award each received $3,000. Thirty-one
of the other scholarship recipients received
awards of $2,500. The remaining
two scholarships were for $2,000 and
$1,700. Each of the four graduate fellowships
was for $2,500.
The Hoyt-Jolley Foundation Scholarship
was presented for the first time this
year. David R. Higgins, a senior at North
Carolina State University, was the recipient
of the $2,500 award. During 1997, the
Foundation received a most generous
gift from the Ruth R. Hoyt-Anne H.
Jolley Foundation, Inc. The gift was earmarked
to establish a scholarship for undergraduate
Phis attending school in one
of the following states: Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Soudi Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas or Virginia. Theta East Province
