I hate to be the only one posting on here but maybe another Quillen student will come along soon and find all this info of use. I found this on
one of ETSU's website. In case the link goes bad, here is what it says.
ETSU to select first Quillen Scholars for fall 2005
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
JOHNSON CITY - East Tennessee State University is preparing to select its first Quillen Scholars and award the first James H. Quillen Scholarships for this coming fall semester 2005.
Quillen left a bequest to ETSU establishing a scholarship endowment to assist students from Tennessee's First Congressional District, which he represented for 34 years in Washington, D.C. Specifically, he requested that endowment proceeds be used to fund scholarships for students who might not otherwise be able to attend college due to financial constraints. The recipients will be named "Quillen Scholars."
The Quillen Scholars will be awarded $4,000 per academic year. Applicants must be full-time ETSU undergraduate or graduate students who are residents of the First Congressional District of Tennessee, which includes the following counties: Carter, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Jefferson, Johnson, Knox, Sevier, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington.
Selection of the Quillen Scholars will be made on the basis of scholastic endeavors, school and community leadership, volunteer services and activities, other extracurricular activities, and work experience. Applicants must have demonstrated financial need as determined through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Entering ETSU freshmen must have scored at least 19 on the ACT (900 SAT) and have a minimum high school grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Entering ETSU transfer students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Currently enrolled ETSU undergraduate and graduate applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
Quillen Scholars will be chosen by the James H. Quillen Scholarship Selection Committee. For applications and additional information, write the ETSU Scholarship Office, Box 70557, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN 37614; call (423) 439-7094; fax (423) 439-7090; or e-mail
