Campbell scholarship established

The Glenn and Lee Ann Campbell School of Visual and Performing Arts Scholarship has been established through the Southeast Missouri University Foundation.

The Campbells, of Cape Girardeau, made a $10,000 gift to establish the scholarship. The gift will be matched with an additional $10,000 through the foundation's Honoring Tradition -- Inspiring Success Comprehensive Campaign.

The renewable scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled at Southeast with a minimum 2.5 grade point average. It is talent-based, to be awarded to an outstanding new or returning student who participates in the Department of Theatre and Dance's scholarship auditions and is a declared major in the department. Financial need will be a consideration but no FAFSA form is required. Scholarship awards from the endowment will be a minimum of $1,000 each. The Department of Theatre and Dance will select the scholarship recipient.

After graduating from Notre Dame Regional High School in Cape Girardeau in 1983, Campbell attended Southeast, earning a bachelor's degree business administration with an emphasis in marketing and a minor in management. His wife is a graduate of Purdue University.

Glenn was with Foot Locker in Indiana before starting a business, Hat World, in 1995. Today the company is known as Lids.
