Reminder: October 10th, the deadline to nominate a student for the first Faculty Memorial Scholarship is quickly approaching. Any student who is of Sophomore, Junior or Senior status, has a 3.0 GPA or higher, and will not graduate this December can be nominated. We are looking for a student who either desires to, or should consider, attend graduate school and become a College or University Professor. It is not necessary that the student be from a program represented among the honorees for the scholarship.
I know that we are all busy, so I would like to amend the call to allow for a simpler nomination process. In addition to nominations attached to an email, I will now accept nominations in the body of an email. The nomination description should be amended to read:
Nominations should be submitted in .doc, .docx, or .pdf files via email attachment or in the body of an email to: kmshannon@salisbury.edu . I will respond to these emails within 48 hours. If you have not received a response by then, please assume it may be lost in cyberspace and resend. The email must contain the student’s name and SU ID number in the body of the email and the name of the file containing the nomination should be of the form:
Laura Short 1040130.xxx
(Where xxx is appropriately doc, docx, or pdf)
The nomination should include a sentence similar to: “I am nominating Laura Short for the 2024 Faculty Memorial Scholarship”. That will be enough to make the student eligible. Additional information could make it more likely that the committee will choose your nominee.
All other information in the original announcement remains the same, and it can be found here:
