To further
the goal of student support for scholarship, the Women of the
University Community (WUC) Organization annually presents
the following four awards:
The Ruth Tolley Scholarship
 Ruth
Tolley was a student in the first class in what was then called
the College of Home Economics at Syracuse University. She later
married past Chancellor William Tolley. During his tenure she
maintained an active interest in women’s programs and activities
of women’s groups.
The Ruth Tolley Scholarship is awarded to an academically strong
female student in the College of Health Services and Human Professions
(HSHP). Currently HSHP includes departments or courses similar
to those taught formerly in Home Economics or Human Development.
The Mildred Eggers Scholarships
 Mildred
Eggers was the wife of former Chancellor Melvin Eggers. She assumed
an active role in the functions of the S.U. Women’s Club
(now known as WUC) and is remembered as providing leadership,
friendship and gracious hospitality. She was a reading teacher
for many years and had a special dedication to children and adults
whose educational needs were greater than conventional programs.
She had a special interest in students in the College of Continuing
Education.
Two awards are given to honor Mildred Eggers.
The scholarships are given to female students attending Syracuse
University’s
College of Continuing Education who have demonstrated high academic
achievement and financial need.
The Beverly Whaley Scholarship
 The
Whaley Scholarship honors Beverly Whaley. A former teacher who
came to Syracuse when her husband Ross Whaley was appointed President
of the College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry. During
his time in office she contributed to the many activities of
the Women’s organization. She continues to participate
in many of its functions.
The award is given to a female Junior Student in the College
of Environmental Sciences and Forestry who exhibits academic
merit and financial need.
The awards
are presented at the organization’s
Annual Spring Luncheon Meeting.
Information regarding application forms will be available early in the spring semester at each school. |
