Joe V. Chandler Scholarship

Established in 1995 by wife Peggy and children Leslie and Amy Jo in memory of Dr. Joe V. Chandler, Professor and Chair of the Division of Physical Education and Exercise Studies, and funded through gifts by family and friends. The scholarship will be awarded to a full-time Lander University student(s) majoring in either physical education or exercise studies who has completed at least 24 semester hours at Lander, with a 2.5 or higher GPR. Selection will be made by the physical education and exercise studies faculty based on commitment to academic excellence, leadership potential, personal example of a healthy lifestyle, and involvement in professional development activities. Preference will be given to “first generation college students.” The scholarship is renewable provided the recipient(s) remains a full-time student majoring in physical education or exercise studies and maintains a 2.5 GPR.
