Laura Faye Lowry Locklear Art Education Scholarship

Mr. Harold B. Locklear wishes to honor his deceased wife, and the mother of his children, by establishing a scholarship in her name. Laura Faye was an educator with the Public Schools of Robeson County before sickness required her to leave the classroom on medical disability. Mr. Locklear also taught in the public school after four years in the Marines and after retiring as a Master Sergeant from the North Carolina Air National Guard. The Donor wants to give a deserving and qualified student the opportunity to attend school by providing financial assistance. Mr. Locklear remembers the hardships he endured while working toward a post-secondary degree and wants to help lighten the burden for someone else. The recipient of the Laura Faye Lowry Locklear Scholarship in Art Education will be either a full-time or part-time undergraduate student in the junior or senior year of study working toward a degree in Art Education. Recipients shall be natives of the Prospect Community in Robeson County and be willing to remain and work at Prospect Elementary School if the opportunity presents itself. The award is based on demonstrated financial need and is renewable as long as the recipient maintains the minimum University GPA standard.
