Sixteen years later,the Alumni Scholarship Fund assists 12 students each year with a$500 tuition stipend and recognizes these outstanding awardees on the basis of academic progress and contribution to their particular field of study.The recipients are chosen by each department's faculty,and a presentation is made to each ofthe 12 during Honor's Day Chapel held annually in May. Currently,the Alumni Scholarship Fund holds $117,000in the endowed principal which generates the stipend monies awarded each year. The goal for the Alumni Scholarship Fund which the Alumni Council continues to promote is to be able to award a larger tuition stipend to each recipient. It is certainly understandable that every little bit helps, but$500 today does not go as far as $500 did in a 1980's economy. This is why the endowed principal ofthe Alumni Scholarship Fund must grow. The 1994-95 campaign has already begun and contributions from Cedarville College Alumni are being received. With this year's fund-raising effort,the Alumni Association is also sponsoring the first-ever Alumni Auction to be held at Homecoming 1994 on Saturday,October 15 at4p.m.on the Athletic Center Lawn.We encourage all alumni tojoin us for this event and bid your best! All proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Alumni Scholarship Fund,a most worthy cause for future alumni of Cedarville College. Your interest and continued support enables the effectiveness ofthe Alumni Association.Thank you for giving so generously to the Alumni Scholarship Fund! L'94
