Richard M. Simpson Memorial Scholarship (1960)

A memorial scholarship fund in memory of the late Congressman Richard M. Simpson was established at Juniata College in February 1960, as "a living memorial to this great American". The endeavor toward the establishment of a memorial scholarship fund is "in keeping with the memory of Mr. Simpson because of his great interest in the educational opportunities of our youth and also because of his work on behalf of Juniata College in his home community of Huntingdon, PA." It is the purpose of the sponsors to raise a fund sufficient to provide a suitable corpus to be held in perpetual trust so that the investment income from the fund can be used to grant tuition scholarships to deserving applicants who evidence outstanding attributes of citizenship; useful purpose, and academic promise. These scholarships will be for a full four-year course contingent on the maintenance of suitable standards by the individual recipients. It is the hope of the sponsors that it will be possible to award at least one such scholarship each year in the memory of Richard Murray Simpson. Priority is given to students who apply Early Action 1, or Early Decision.
