Athens State Scholarship supports the arts

Dr. Joe H. Slate, an alumnus and longtime professor at the school, has created a student scholarship for the arts at Athens State University.

Slate and his wife Rachel recently met with Athens State President Dr. Bob Glenn who accepted the $10,000 check to establish the Dr. Joe H. Slate Scholarship for the Arts. The scholarship shall be awarded to one or more students enrolled at Athens State University. The student must be earning a major or minor in the arts, which may include art, drama, dance, theater, music, graphic arts, or English. The Athens State University Foundation will manage the scholarship.

“We sincerely appreciate the support for our students through the creation of this scholarship,” said Glenn. “We are grateful to alumni like Dr. Slate who share our desire to provide academic opportunity through our scholarship program. This fund will help us build and attract new students to our arts programs.”

Slate was a longtime professor of psychology at Athens State. He is the author of numerous books in the field of psychology and parapsychology. He and Rachel reside in Hartselle, and own and operate Holladay Antiques.

This year, the Athens State University Foundation awarded approximately 125 scholarships to deserving students at Athens State. The scholarships are annual or endowed scholarships donated corporately or by individuals to the Foundation. Criteria vary for each scholarship but typically include one or more of the following: the student’s grade point average, field of study, student involvement, and financial need.
