The 2024 Foundation scholarship awards include five cash scholarships: one $5000 (the Colonel Stephen E. “Brownie” Brown Scholarship), one $1000, and one $500 to students who are beginning their college education; and one $1000 and one $500 scholarship to students who are continuing their college education. Additionally, Park University will award three $5000 scholarships for qualified applicants. The Park University scholarships are for full-time students for the academic year (the award will be split between the fall and spring semesters). These scholarships can be renewed for up to three years at Park University’s discretion if recipients maintain full-time status, have a 3.0+ GPA, and demonstrate satisfactory academic progress. This Park University scholarship cannot be combined with any other Park University scholarship.

The Colonel Stephen E. “Brownie” Brown Scholarship is named in honor of a U.S. Marine officer who retired from active duty in February 2009 and became an instructor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 2010. Due to medical complications from Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA), Brown retired from teaching at CGSC and currently lives in Stillwell, Kansas. His network of lifelong friends approached the CGSC Foundation to establish the scholarship in Brown’s name to honor his lifetime of service and their friendship. (Read the original announcement)

The CGSC Foundation’s scholarship program is open to high school seniors who will begin their college studies in 2024 and for undergraduate college students returning to school. Applicants must be immediate family members (children, grandchildren and spouses) of a life member of the CGSC Foundation’s Alumni Association.
