Frances Shipley Scholarship
The Family and Consumer Sciences Department celebrated Dr. Frances Shipley's years of service to North at a surprise reception last spring. At the reception, held after the annual FCS Student Recognition Banquet in March, FCS colleagues unveiled a scholarship fund established in Dr. Shipley's honor. Past and present colleagues and students attended, and many others commemorated her career through reminiscences incorporated into a scrapbook. Shipley, who served as a professor in the Family and Consumer Sciences Department for 40 years and as a chair for 30 years, retired at the end of the 2007-2008 school year. She also served as graduate dean for 20 of those years.
At this time, the Dr. Frances Shipley Scholarship has reached the minimal $10,000 endowment level, permitting scholarships to be awarded perpetually on an annual basis to a student majoring in one of the four academic areas within the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences. Contributions are still welcome, and would allow larger scholarship awards to be granted.
For more information regarding the Dr. Frances Shipley Scholarship Fund, or to find out how to contribute, call Laurie Long at the Northwest Foundation at 660.562.1248.
