Calvin Turnbow Scholarship

The Calvin Turbow Scholarship is awarded near the end of each spring semester to a student who will be a senior the next academic year and has the "greatest potential in the field of historical endeavor after graduation. Thus the student's GPA would not necessarily be the prime criteria." Students will be in the running for this scholarship each year simply by completing the General Scholarship Application each year. You can find that application by visiting scholarships.nsuok.edu and selecting your student type.
