Scholarships and Fellowship
This year for the first time the GAA hosted a reception on University Day for the
dozens of students who are receiving some type of scholarship sponsored by the association, such as the GAA and Dibbert Scholars, the Saunders Scholarship, the Light on
the Hill Scholarship and those provided by many Carolina Clubs.

hosted the reception. The J. Maryon
“Spike” Saunders Scholarship is
named for Morris’ father, who was a
member of the class of 1925 and
leader of the alumni association for
43 years starting in 1927.
