Washington
Foundation
endows UM scholarship
The Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation recently gave $50,000 to
endow the University's 53rd Presidential Leadership Scholarship. The Washington
scholarship will provide talented students with a $5,000 annual award to cover tuition,
fees and some living expenses. It will be presented for the first time next spring for the
2001-2002 academic year. As an endowed scholarship, it will then be awarded in perpetuity.
The Presidential Scholarship Program was started in 1987 and provides UM's most
prestigious awards. Recipients are considered the University's top promising students. The
awards are given to incoming freshmen in any academic major who are selected through a
rigorous screening process. The scholarships are renewable for three years.
All Presidential Scholars are admitted to the Davidson Honors College and afforded many
special academic opportunities, including educational travel and internships.
