The Russell Christman Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship is named for Russell Christman, an English Department instructor who was killed in a car accident in 1976. The scholarship was established by his parents and is given to the rising junior English major that most typifies Russ’ spirit: vivacious, caring, energetic, and involved in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Academic merit is a factor in choosing the recipient, but character is given greater weight. Students must have completed 12 hours at ECU by the end of the fall semester.
