John W. (Ned) and Eva B. Sampson Endowed Men's Basketball Scholarship

This scholarship was established by his family in honor of the many years of service of “Mr. Ned” (class of 1953 and Hall of Fame member) to Magnolia School as well as his contributions to the University. The scholarship is designed to assist deserving young athletes who might not otherwise realize the dream of a university degree. The scholarship is awarded annually to a basketball player, with priority given to a Robeson County resident.
