The Shepherd Scholarship Foundation was established in 1956 under the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Buford Shepherd and has aided many full-time students attending accredited colleges since its beginning. There are many applications each year, and a qualified committee carefully reviews each application and considers such factors as academic achievements and extra-curricular activities in high school and financial need.
See Dr. Young for a paper copy of the application to mail in. Deadline is May 1, 2014.

UTC Math Scholarship
The Marjorie Watson Mathematics Scholarship is intended for an incoming freshman attending the
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga who majors in mathematics. This is a $5000 scholarship,
with $2000 awarded in the freshman year, and $1000 awarded for each of the sophomore, junior and
senior years.
This scholarship is funded from an endowment established by the estate of Marjorie Watson, who
was a 1930’s alumna of the University of Chattanooga (now UTC). She was a mathematics major,
and her career spanned both industry and education. She was a military statistician, an analyst during
World War II, a member of the team that developed the Univac computer, and a mathematics
instructor at her alma mater in 1936. Marjorie Watson also served as the head of the mathematics
department at Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama.
Application materials should include:
1. Letter of application affirming an interest in a mathematics degree.
2. Two letters of recommendation affirming the applicant’s mathematics ability, at least one
of which must be from a recent mathematics teacher.
3. Supporting materials, which should include ACT/SAT scores and high school transcripts.
Renewal of the scholarship for the sophomore, junior, and senior years is subject to the recipient
maintaining his or her math major status, a 3.0 overall GPA, a 3.5 mathematics GPA computed at
the end of the academic year, and normal progress towards a mathematics degree.
The Department of Mathematics offers both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. Of
the 25 full time faculty, 18 hold doctoral degrees from universities around the world. There are
currently over 40 mathematics majors and 30 minors, in addition to over 30 Mathematics Education
majors and eight post-baccalaureate students. A number of awards are available for mathematics
majors, and internships have been established with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee and Unum
Provident Insurance Company. In addition, opportunities are available to work directly with faculty
on research and honors projects.
Application Deadline: March 15th
Application materials should be sent to:
