Ken Strickland and Dr. Ruth Infante Endowed Scholarship

The donors believe that education, exposure to other cultures, and the willingness to see the world, have impacted their lives. Their support of UNCP stems from a vested interest in supporting students who are committed to obtaining a college degree and that also have a personal financial stake in their success. The recipients of the Ken Strickland and Dr. Ruth Infante Endowed Scholarship will be expected to maintain a minimum of 3.0 GPA. Full time students classified as a Junior or Senior will be eligible and must have graduated from a high school in Robeson County. The scholarship will be based on financial need, however the student must have unmet need that is not covered through scholarship support. The donors require that the student has responsibility for covering some portion of their tuition out of pocket. The donor also hopes that the student will consider teaching in Robeson County. The student should commit to 25 hours of community service preferably through the UNCP Care Resource Center. The award is renewable. The student must be pursuing a School of Education major.
