Robert L. Pope Memorial Scholarship

The Robert L. Pope Memorial Scholarship was created to provide annual financial assistance to a deserving student who is academically motivated and in need of funding for his or her college education. Additionally, the scholarship is to honor the memory of Professor Robert Pope.

Bob Pope wore many hats during his life, noteworthy and proudly, a paratrooper during World War II, cowboy, animal lover, nature photographer, and for over 20 years, an educator. He worked hard to attain his own education. As a Professor of Biology and Ecology, from his extensive knowledge, observations, and caring attitude, he enriched his classes with firsthand stories and interactive presentations.

In keeping with his belief of lifelong learning and practice to help educate others, this scholarship is established in his honor.
