The David Yuri Hooper Scholarship was established by David and Wilma Hooper to honor the excellent education received by their son who graduated from Salisbury University in 1994. It provides scholarships for students with a minimum GPA of 3.0 from single-income families demonstrating financial need. Scholarships are renewable annually provided recipients continue to meet the eligibility criteria. Preference will be given to students majoring in biology, but in the event that there are no qualified biology applicants, students majoring in any other department in the Henson School will be considered. Eligible candidates are notified by letter and must submit a two-page essay explaining their need and demonstrating that they are of good moral character. Recipients are selected by the Deans of the Henson School and Enrollment Management. For more information, contact the Henson School Office at 410-543-6489.
The Davenport-Hopkins Scholarship, available to biology majors, is in memory of Dhimitria S. Davenport-Hopkins, a 1975 graduate in Biology. This award honors Dhimitria's love of biology and her enthusiasm for sharing her broad range of interests and knowledge with her students. Recipients of this award must be a biology major of at least sophomore standing, with a minimum GPA of 2.8, active in undergraduate research, and recommended by a faculty member. Preference will be given to students with demonstrated financial need; graduating seniors are not eligible for this award.
The application packet must include: A CV or resume, an essay addressing your history and goals as a biologist, and a letter of recommendation from a Biology faculty member (in a sealed envelope with a signature on the seal). Please combine all materials in a manila envelope and deliver to Sandy Ramses in the Biology office (HS 230F). If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Kimberly Hunter.
