The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is accepting applications for the John Osgood Blanchard and Elizabeth Amis Cameron Blanchard Scholarship. The scholarship carries an annual renewable award of $6,000 for residents of North Carolina and $12,000 for out-of-state residents, and is available to both incoming freshmen and currently enrolled students at the University. To be considered, applicants must meet the following criteria:

1) Be baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal Church and be of Colonial ancestry.

AND/OR

2) Be the son or daughter of Episcopal clergy.

In addition to the above criteria, selection will be based on academic achievement, though financial need may be taken into consideration. Applicants who are already attending UNC should have at least a cumulative grade point average 3.0 to be eligible. Incoming freshmen applicants will be considered on the basis of the information provided in their application for admission to the University. Any student who feels he or she may qualify for financial aid should file the FAFSA (available at www.fafsa.gov) and CSS Profile, (www.collegeboard.com) by March 1.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, together with supporting documentation (letter from a rector stating one's membership in the Church, evidence of Colonial ancestry) to Dr. Dan Thornton, Senior Assistant Director for Scholarships, by February 1, 2002. Recipients will be notified in April whether they have been selected to receive the award. Please mail to:
