financial assistance / Scholarships

Admission to the Maynor Honors College is independent of financial assistance. However, there are certain scholarship and funding opportunities that are exclusively tailored for Honors College students. Students accepted into the Maynor Honors College each year have opportunities to apply for a variety of these “honors only" scholarships.

*Students are encouraged to review all the scholarship opportunities at UNCP in the current Academic Catalog. Honors students should also complete a UNCP Merit Scholarship Application available through the Office of Financial Aid (http://www.uncp.edu/fa/scholarships.htm)

For more information, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 910.521.6255 or fa@uncp.edu.

 

ESTHER g. MAYNOR SCHOLARSHIP

Born and raised in Robeson County, Esther Graham Maynor was the daughter of Duncan and Dovie Lowry Graham.  She married Therod “Horse” Maynor.  During WWII, Therod Maynor and Floyd Pike became friends and eventually business partners with Pike Electric in Mount Airy, NC.  Pike Electric is the largest electrical contractor in the southeast.  Therod passed away in 1967 and Mrs. Maynor stayed in Mount Airy. 

Upon Mrs. Maynor’s death she left in her will that her Trust Estate, minus some specific distributions that she listed, be given to the Trustees of UNC Pembroke for the purpose of establishing the Esther G. Maynor Scholarship.  The scholarship is to be awarded to students attending UNC Pembroke who are accepted to the Maynor Honors College and demonstrate financial need.

Beginning with the entering Freshman Class of Fall 2007, one full scholarship will be awarded to a freshman member of the Maynor Honors College. This scholarship will cover the cost of tuition, room and board, fees, and books.
