Lillian Barton Memorial Scholarship

The Lillian Barton Scholarship is named in honor of a special educator. Miss Barton rendered service to the teaching profession for more than 50 years. She was a public school teacher, school administrator, and teacher educator. She has been characterized as a dedicated professional and a gracious lady. Miss Barton provided active and inspirational leadership to Eta Delta Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi for many years; therefore, it seems only fitting that this chapter assume responsibility for the administration of the Lillian Barton Memorial Scholarship Fund. To finance the scholarships, an endowment was established by donations from relatives of Miss Barton, friends, and organizations. The interest from the endowment provides scholarships for deserving teacher education majors. The recipients are selected on the bases of GPA and evidence of professional promise. The scholarship is awarded in the fall and spring semesters. Those submitting an application packet (application form, up-to-date unofficial transcript, statement of future professional goals, one letter of personal reference, two rating scale forms from professors in your academic major, one rating scale form from a professor outside your academic major) must meet following criteria.

1. Students must be officially admitted into the Teacher Education Program
2. Must be pursuing the B.S.E. or M.S.E. degree
3. Must have an overall GPA of 3.00 or above
