If you know someone who considering furthering their education, Malone University is worth considering. Plus Malone has a range of financial aid options. Here is one of the scholarships available.

Scholarships like the James H. Stuckey Memorial Scholarship make a difference in the lives of our students! Established in 2004, this scholarship is awarded in honor of the late James H. Stuckey, Ph.D., professor of history and sociology at Malone from 1969 to 1999.

His contribution to the establishment of the study of history, political science, and sociology at Malone is immense, and this award seeks to grant scholarships to outstanding students who demonstrate faith, academic achievement, and zeal for the study of social science.
