Hot Chocolate, Cool Scholarships

Mary Baldwin University student Brenda Brown learned that she would receive the college’s Wilkinson-Carpenter academic scholarship at the beginning of the 2004-05 school year. A few months later, Brown was a pupil in class with the scholarship’s creator, John Wilkinson, adjunct instructor of Healthcare Administration.

“I had no idea I would have him as a professor. It’s fun to get to know him as a person. We joke around, though, that he’s keeping an eye on me,” said Brown, an Baldwin Online and Adult Programs student at the Roanoke regional center.

Mary Baldwin offers hundreds of named scholarships, but Brown has the rare opportunity to see her benefactor regularly. The college’s annual hot chocolate social gives more students the chance to meet the men and women who contribute to their scholarships. More than 250 financial aid awards were distributed this year to approximately 200students at Mary Baldwin. Nearly 73 percent of Mary Baldwin students receive need-based financial aid. President Pamela Fox opened the event by expressing the gratitude of the entire Mary Baldwin community for the generosity of donors who provide so many scholarships.

Marcela Posadas ’07 met Robert B. Livy, the sponsor of the Marguerite Fulwiler Livy Scholarship in honor of his mother, a member of the Class of 1917, at this year’s event. Posadas, a resident of Patrick County, Virginia, lived her first nine years in Mexico. She thanked Livy for his kind support, explaining that the scholarship has allowed her to concentrate on pursuing a major in Healthcare Administration and a career in nursing instead of focusing on funds.
