The 2009-12010 Department of Communication Scholarships are now available for application.
Attached, 2009Flyer_undergraduate.doc, is a copy of the newest scholarship information for undergraduate scholarships available for the 2009-2010 academic year. Please review the criteria for application for each one carefully, as well as pay close attention to the deadlines.
We are excited to offer a new scholarship this year in recognition of a former faculty member David Dollar, now deceased. Mr. Dollar was a prominent feature of the public relations program for many, many years. Students could not get through the program without having at least one class with the always positive and laughable “Dollar” as his students referred to him. Applicants of the scholarship must be a Missouri resident, a full time junior or senior PR or general COM major with a cumulative gpa of 3.25, with preference given to those with demonstrated financial need.

I encourage all of you to review the scholarship guidelines and consider applying. These scholarships have been designated to recognize outstanding faculty members who want to reward outstanding students for their achievements. Once we review applications, all students who have applied for scholarships will be invited (along with friends and family) to attend the annual COM Honors Ceremony, date to be scheduled in April. We will announce all scholarships at this ceremony and also induct a new group of COM honors students to Lambda Phi Eta. I will notify everyone of the date as soon as we get it finalized.
**Additional item: I highly recommend you to attend a guest speaker on campus next week, Mr. Jack Stack. He will be in Glass Hall 108 at 7:00 on Tuesday, February 3, 2009. Mr. Stack is the President and CEO of SRC Holdings Corporation, a locally owned and very profitable company. He has written a couple of very influential books, relating to his “open book management” approach. This is a leadership speaker series sponsored by the provost office. It is free and open to the public.For more information, view the calender event.
Let me know if you have any questions about scholarships, or anything else.
