Frank and Agnes Campbell Scholarship

Name: Frank and Agnes Campbell Scholarship

Award Amount: $1,500

Information And Eligibility:
The Frank and Agnes Campbell Scholarship is an education-focused academic award created to support undergraduate students who are committed to pursuing a career in teaching. This scholarship is intended for students who demonstrate strong academic performance, leadership potential, and a clear dedication to entering the education profession. By providing targeted financial assistance, the scholarship helps reduce the cost of college for future educators during a critical stage of their academic journey.

The scholarship is closely associated with students planning to attend or currently attending Rhode Island College and is designed to support those preparing for careers in elementary, secondary, or specialized education fields. Applicants are expected to show not only academic achievement but also a genuine passion for teaching and service to others. The selection committee places particular emphasis on a student’s motivation to become an educator and their understanding of the responsibilities and impact of the teaching profession.

Eligible students must be enrolled full time, carrying at least 12 credit hours during the fall semester. Academic excellence is a core requirement, as applicants must rank in the top 25 percent of their high school graduating class. This standard reflects the scholarship’s goal of supporting students who have demonstrated consistent effort, discipline, and commitment to learning.

A defining feature of the Frank and Agnes Campbell Scholarship is its emphasis on personal reflection and references. Applicants are required to submit essays that articulate their reasons for choosing a career in education and explain how a Rhode Island College education will help them achieve their professional goals. In addition, references from educators or mentors who can speak to the applicant’s character, academic ability, and suitability for a teaching career play an important role in the selection process.

Scholarship funds may be used to support tuition, required fees, books, and other education-related expenses. While the award is typically granted as a one-time scholarship, recipients benefit from both financial assistance and recognition as a future educator committed to excellence and service.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be an undergraduate student intending to major in education.
• Must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours for the fall semester.
• Must rank in the top 25 percent of the high school graduating class.
