The Furman Fellowship is an endowed scholarship fund founded in 2004 with a gift from Furman trustee emeritus\u00a0Bob Buckman and Joyce Mollerup. Each year, five seniors are recognized as Furman Fellows and receive a scholarship to use toward the completion of their degree.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife and I established Furman Fellows in order to recognize outstanding seniors who make a difference in the school or the lives of others, bring creativity and imagination to their daily lives, demonstrate problem-solving abilities and have the respect of their peers and faculty,\u201d said Buckman. \u201cOver the years, these senior students have been outstanding examples of the Furman student body. We are proud of each one of them and what they have accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Class of 2023 Furman Fellows embody the spirit of this award and the mission of our university,\u201d Erik Ching, interim associate provost for engaged learning, said. \u201cAs leaders, artists, advocates, scientists and pioneers, they embody the diversity of our campus, and I look forward to seeing the impact their proposed projects will have on our Furman and Greenville communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
