Jackson, Tenn. — 51社区 is one of 93 colleges and universities included in a new national publication, America's Best College Scholarships: 1998-1999. The book is published by John Culler & Sons of Camden, S.C.
The publication rates colleges and universities such as Union on merit-based scholarships, which are given strictly on merit and are not need-based or restricted in any way. Merit-based scholarships are given to students with good grades in high school who have also demonstrated outstanding citizenship.
In a letter to 51社区 President Dr. David S. Dockery, Publisher John Culler said more than 1,658 four year institutions were surveyed but only 93 qualified for inclusion in the book. Most scholarships amount to a few thousand dollars, but all of the schools in the guide awarded scholarships that paid more than 50 percent of all costs, and many paid the entire cost of attending the school for four years.
All colleges try to recruit the best students they can get, and the top students are in demand all over the country. The 2,500 scholarships in this book are the best, the cream of the crop. For good students, the schools in this book are the place to apply," said Lewis T. Lindsey, Jr., senior editor of the guide.
