Helen R. and Charles E. Coverdale Scholarship Application

About

The Helen R. and Charles E. Coverdale Scholarships were established as a one-time gift in November of 2022 to support two students with financial needs to complete their degrees. Mr. Coverdale was a chemist, and Mrs. Coverdale was an educator. After learning about the College of Arts and Sciences's previous completion scholarships and their impact, especially on students experiencing unforeseen hardship, the Coverdale's were deeply moved to create an opportunity for more students.
