Malone College’s Daniel J. Walton, a senior media communication major from Canal Fulton, was recently notified that he is the recipient of the Frederic D. and Dorothy C. Vechery Christian College Consortium Scholarship, in the amount of $4500, for the 2008-2009 academic year. 

 

Mr. and Mrs. Vechery of Coral Ridge, Florida, created the endowed scholarship to reward academic achievement, leadership, and character development – while reducing financial burden – of students completing undergraduate studies at a Christian college.

 

The Christian College Consortium has brought thirteen Christian colleges together since the early 1970s. The member institutions were selected on the basis of quality of program, commitment to the evangelical, Protestant heritage, and geographical distribution… The Christian College Consortium provides a unique opportunity for presidents and other college officers to meet together on a regular basis with a relatively small group of peers from similar institutions to discuss the most urgent issues facing the evangelical Christian church, American higher education in general, and Christian higher education in particular.
