FRANK CRUMP, JR. NEXT GENERATION SCHOLARSHIP

 

Mr. Crump believed that "each new generation should do better than the one before." Inspired by Mr. Crump's conviction for every student to achieve their full potential, his dedication to education and his affinity for mathematices, the Frank Crump, Jr. Next Generation Scholarship was established. 

 

Scholarships are a one-time, non-renewable award that may be used to pay for tuition, books and student fees.  Awards are paid directly to the university from the scholarship fund held by Trustmark National Bank in Vicksburg, MS.

 

One high school senior will be awarded a $1000 scholarship. Additional scholarships are awarded contingent on funds raised during the annual fundraising campaign. Scholarships are awarded annually in May.
