Potter
Scholarships
Professor
Potter was an instrumental figure in the founding of the Department
of Philosophy and a long-time instructor in a number of areas at
what was then Washington State College. These scholarships honor
his memory.
Several
scholarships will be given to help defray tuition expenses of
junior- and senior-level students.
Academic
excellence (3.0 g.p.a. or greater) and proven interest in philosophy
will be prime factors in the selection of recipients. Such excellence
will be judged on the basis of the following:
- A
transcript of graded coursework
- Demonstrated
proficiency in writing -- not merely in correctness of mechanics
but also in the ability to select, organize, and present ideas
effectively
- Recommendations
from philosophy faculty members
- Performance
in philosophy classes
Financial
need is normally not a consideration, and one need not be a philosophy
major or minor to apply.
Decisions
regarding the awarding of scholarships will be made by the Scholarship
Committee of the Philosophy Department. See Dr. Harry Silverstein,
Chair of the Scholarship Committee or DeeDee Torgeson, Administrative
Manager, if you have any questions.
Application
forms may be obtained by clicking
here. Please fill out the form online and print, no handwritten forms will be accepted.
Application
materials are due in the Department of Philosophy by March 21 for scholarships to be awarded for the following summer
and for the academic year.
