Jesse Bohannon, a Central Methodist University student from Lynchburg, was named the recipient of the James P. and Helen Puckett Thogmorton Class of 1959 Hall of Sponsors Scholarship for the 2017-’18 academic year.
“All scholarships are awarded by a stewardship coordinator based on a student’s high academic performance, and following the donor’s wishes,” said Jackie Jackson, director of annual giving and operations at CMU.
According to Jackson, one of CMU’s highest honors is to be selected as a recipient of an endowed or Hall of Sponsors scholarship. These scholarships are assigned to CMU’s best and brightest students based on high academic standards, and contribution to their school and community.
Since its founding in 1854, CMU has evolved into a university that confers master’s, bachelor’s and associate’s degrees through programming on its main campus in Fayette and through extension sites and online.
