WCU pharmacy student receives first Ashcroft Scholarship

  • Advancement, Pharmacy, Tradition

Norman Armstrong, a student at William Carey University’s Tradition campus, has become the first recipient of the John Ashcroft Endowed Scholarship. A resident of Gulfport, Armstrong is a second-year student at the WCU School of Pharmacy.

The scholarship was presented Oct. 9 at the Tradition campus by Dr. Michael Malloy, dean of the WCU School of Pharmacy, and WCU Advancement Officer Jenifer Freridge.

“I cannot think of a more deserving student than Mr. Armstrong to be the first recipient of the John Ashcroft Endowed Scholarship,” Malloy said.

“He is not only a leader in the School of Pharmacy and in the classroom – but as president of the Student Government Association, he is also a leader for the entire Tradition campus. He is a person of high character and integrity, and he leads by example.”

In April, the WCU Office of Advancement hosted the 1st Annual Tradition Campus Scholarship Dinner at the Great Southern Club. Attended by hundreds of Carey friends and supporters, the fund-raising event marked the launch of a new endowment fund to support students at the Tradition campus. The guest speaker was former U.S. attorney general, Missouri governor and U.S. senator John Ashcroft.

It is WCU’s custom to establish an endowed scholarship in honor of guest speakers at the university’s scholarship dinners. The scholarship named in Ashcroft’s honor is awarded based on academic performance, leadership, integrity and financial need.
