History

A group of Albion College students came together during the 1971 academic year and collected money to establish an endowed fund to honor former Albion College President Bernard T. Lomas. Those students raised more than $250,000 to create the Bernard T. Lomas Project P-250 Endowed Scholarship. The number 250 comes directly from the $250,000 raised in endowment funds.

Purpose

The purpose of the Project 250 Scholarship is to encourage students to contribute to significant improvements of self, campus, and community. Award recipients will be determined:

• Based on the applicant’s broad range of activities and without regard to financial need.
• On the basis of the applicant’s leadership contributions as measured by the quality of the applicant’s involvement with activities and organizations.
• On the contribution to the applicant’s personal goals in higher education.

Selection Process

A selection committee comprised of faculty and staff members will review applications and determine the recipients of the P250 Scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be announced at the Sleight B.E.L.L Leadership Awards Ceremony.
