44 Students Receive '09-'10 Legacy Scholarships Totaling $106,250
Educational and leadership training opportunities await 44 undergraduate students during the 2009-10 academic year courtesy of the Phillips University Legacy Scholars program.
The Legacy Foundation is pleased to award these talented young people $106,250 in scholarships, bringing the Foundation’s total grants to $794,500 since the program’s inception in 2002.
Seven new freshmen and one sophomore will have the opportunity to network and build lifelong friendships with Phillips alumni and the 36 returning scholars in this year’s class of Legacy Scholars. Click here to get acquainted with the » Class of ’09-’10.
A highlight of the program is the annual four-day all-expense-paid Leadership Development Conference. This year’s conference, scheduled for November 12-15, will be held at Sky Ranch (www.skyranch.org) in Van, Texas, just east of Dallas. Motivational speaker Troy Stende (www.stendeinspirations.com) and former Director of Week of Compassion, Johnny Wray, will headline the event. Lay church leaders and Phillips University alumni also contribute during the training weekend. Legacy Scholars are full-time undergraduate students who attend one of the 17 colleges or universities affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They are eligible to receive annual scholarships of up to $5,000.
In addition to financial support, the Legacy Scholars program provides not only leadership training but also the opportunity to apply new leadership skills through a 40-hour volunteer community service project.
Reconnecting at the 2009 PUAFA Reunion
Former Phillips employees were honored at the Faculty/Staff Reception at the Phillips University Alumni and Friends Reunion on Friday, June 26, 2009. Attendees enjoyed reconnecting with Professors and staff members who helped make their time at Phillips very special.
On Saturday morning, Tom Walker '68, led participants on a tour of the new Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, which is still under construction. Attendees were able to view the area where the new Phillips University Gallery will be located. The PUAFA Annual Meeting followed, where the 2009-10 Board of Directors was installed.
