CMU's Beem Recipient of Endowed Scholarship

2017 Oct 10

Central Methodist University has a long history of generous donors endowing scholarships to ensure students have needed resources as they work to complete their college education.

Joseph Beem, a CMU student from Independence, Mo., was named the recipient of the Christ United Methodist Church Scholarship for the 2017-'18 academic year.

"All scholarships are awarded by a stewardship coordinator based on a student's high academic performance, and following the donor's wishes," said Jackie Jackson, director of annual giving and operations at CMU.

According to Jackson, one of CMU's highest honors is to be selected as a recipient of an endowed or Hall of Sponsors scholarship. These scholarships are assigned to CMU's best and brightest students based on high academic standards, and contribution to their school and community.
