Office of Admissions hosting Fall Preview Day, scholarship competitions

The Jamestown College Office of Admissions is hosting a Fall Preview Day for prospective students and their families from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 on the Jamestown College campus. The event is free.

Attendees will experience a campus tour, meet with students, faculty, coaches, and fine arts representatives as well as eat lunch and hear about campus life.

Jamestown College is also hosting the Melvin R. Arnold Scholarship Competition on Sunday, Nov. 13 and the Wilson Scholarship Competition on Monday, Nov. 14.

Recipients of the Melvin R. Arnold Scholarship must major in either biochemistry or chemistry at Jamestown College, or minor in chemistry along with a major in biology, mathematics or a pre-professional science area. Melvin R. Arnold, a 1938 graduate of Jamestown College, spent his career as an international consultant in catalysis and synthetic fuels. Through his estate, the Melvin R. Arnold Scholarship was established, with the first awards taking place during the 1997-98 academic year.

The Wilson Scholarship provides full tuition renewable for four years and was established in memory of the late Dr. John L. Wilson and his wife, Palma. Dr. Wilson served on the College’s Board of Trustees from 1957 until his death in 1983. Recipients of the scholarship must demonstrate commendable academic and leadership skills.
