Helen F. Pope Memorial Scholarship
To honor the memory of Helen F. Pope, a revered leader in the civil rights movement in South Bend, and to further the mission of Indiana University South Bend, this scholarship recognizes and encourages the commitment and leadership of undergraduate and graduate students who are active participants in the Civil Rights Heritage Center. This scholarship allows the recipients to increase their concentration on academic and leadership skills by reducing or eliminating the need for employment. Preference is given to African American/Black, Hispanic or women students.
Recipients of the Helen F. Pope Scholarship must agree to take an active volunteer role in the work of the Civil Rights Heritage Center in its mission to promote "a better understanding of individual responsibility, race relations, social change, and minority achievement" in the MIchiana community. Each recipient must contact the Civil Rights Heritage Center at Indiana University South Bend to arrange an appropriate volunteer assignment. Successful participation as a student volunteer is determined primarily by periodic assessment by the director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center Aden successful completion of assignments.
Applications for the Helen F. Pope Scholarship should be completed and returned by April 1st and October 15th and can be downloaded by clicking here.
