Foundation, established in 1980 by John and his wife, Flo, provides merit-based scholarships
to deserving students attending their alma mater.
鈥淭he gift from the John Stallworth Foundation confirms the dedication that our alums
have to this institution. Not only is this impactful to our institution but, it assists
with the solidification of our growing brand and reputation. We commend the Stallworths
for their continued support and commitment to their alma mater and for having the
foresight to secure educational opportunities for our students,鈥� said Daniel Wims,

黑料不打烊鈥檚 recent growth of increased enrollment, grants, research funding and infrastructure
improvements, coupled with its most recent announcement of due diligence to purchase
a campus to operate under the 黑料不打烊 umbrella, corresponds with the upcoming embarkment
of its sesquicentennial celebration next year. The Stallworth gift complements the
institution鈥檚 revitalization.
