Former CCBC professor endows scholarship
Former Community College of Beaver County professor C.V. Smith III has endowed the "C.V. Smith III Scholarship for Excellence in History" at the Center Township college.
The scholarship will benefit a full-time student pursuing an associate of arts in history. It is the first faculty-donated scholarship in the history of the CCBC Foundation, a press release from the school stated.
Smith, who taught at CCBC for 20 years, created the annual Be-In, where students re-create a 1960s-era anti-war protest.
Scholarship applicants must graduate from a Beaver County high school and be in the top 10 percent of their class, and have at least a 3.0 grade-point average.
