General applications will be considered for several different named scholarships (which have their own criteria—e.g., must be: a Seminary student, a School of Education student in educational or counseling psychology, or a student working on a music degree, etc.), as well as the more general WSC Advisory Scholarship and Honored Women Scholarship. To give general applicants the best chance to receive an award, the committee will determine which scholarship best fits the applicant. Along with the application form, students will need to request letters of recommendation from two different individuals (either from two professors or a professor and pastor or work supervisor). The letters of recommendation should include the professor/supervisor's assessment of the worthiness of the applicant in terms of scholarship, work habits and the likelihood that the student will meet her goals. <h3 style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);"> Scholarship Funds</h3> Scholarship funds awarded will be applied toward tuition for the 2025–26 school year. Successful applicants will be notified of their awards <span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: inherit;">via email by June 2, 2025.

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 07:52:03 +0000 The Trade http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/42452 Dennis Hollingsead, prospect research officer in the Office of Development at Andrews University, wrote the following article for Spectrum Magazine. * * * * * Commie — a common playing marble, especially one not used as a shooter. Have you ever traded something that you valued highly, for something that you desired even more? I remember in the third grade trading away some very prized marbles. A friend of mine had brought to school a very special marble — an aggie made of agate. I don’t remember the color of it but I do remember that I wanted it more than any marble I had.  <<< Read the full story in <a href="http://spectrummagazine.org/article/2016/07/24/trade">Spectrum</a> >>> Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:05:59 +0000
