CC receives donation from Dalhart woman

Clarendon College has received a second gift from the Martha Christine Johnson Schuhart Trust, bringing contributions thus far from the estate to approximately $720,000.

The college received the first distribution of approximately $400,000 in November 2005. The second installment was distributed January 17 in the amount of $320,000.

Schuhart was a resident of Dalhart, and these gifts were made in loving memory of her parents to establish the R.C. and Agnes Johnson Endowed Scholarship.  The intent of the gifts is to provide financial assistance to qualified students who desire to further their education at Clarendon College.

The scholarship is available to high school graduates who are of good character and ability and demonstrate a true desire to obtain an education beyond the high school level.

Preference is given to students graduating from high school in Dallam and Hartley Counties.

Clarendon College currently has 43 named or endowed scholarships available to students.
