Belk Scholarship Program Increased 50% 18 $500 Scholarships To Be Awarded

J. B. Allen, manager of Belk's Dept. Store at Red and Bird Road, announced that the Belk Foundation will award eighteen $500 college scholarships for 1961. This is a fifty per cent increase over last year's program. The awards will be made to high school graduates who expect to enter college as freshmen during the year. J. B. Allen pointed out that this is a continuation of the Foundation's recognition of the growing value of a college education and the Foundation's desire to assist those who are deserving and need assistance. The Belk Foundation was established in memory of Dr. John Belk and Mr. W. H. Belk, Sr. During the years since its beginning many churches, colleges, hospitals and other institutions, as well as numerous individuals, have benefitted from the Foundation. The Scholarship program is another step in assisting others to a better opportunity in life. The scholarships will be awarded by a special Scholarship committee based on the applicants scholastic rating, overall merit, character and interests, and potentialities for success in college and post-college life. Winners will be free to select their own college and course of study. All local high school seniors who are interested in applying for one of these scholarships are asked to contact Mr. Allen for additional details and to go by Belk's Dept. Store to pick up an application blank. Deadline for application is April 15, 1961.
