Paul Van Zandt Scholarship in Art

The Donors wish to honor Professor Paul Van Zandt, former Chair of the Department of Art, by providing a scholarship that will assist students in the achievement of their educational goals. Professor Paul Van Zandt was an esteemed artist and faculty member at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke for 35 years until his retirement in 2005. At the time of his retirement, Van Zandt had established his legacy as a teacher, mentor, sculptor and potter. For these reasons, and to thank him for his service, this scholarship has been established to promote education among students majoring in Studio Art. Candidate for award of this scholarship shall be a full-time undergraduate student, in the sophomore, junior or senior year of study declaring an Art Studio major. This candidate shall maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. There is no restriction of residency and financial need should not be a consideration. The Department of Art Selection Committee reserves the right to renew this award to a previously qualified recipient.
