Raymond L. Muncy Scholarship
The Raymond L. Muncy Scholarship is a onetime financial award for undergraduate students at Harding University majoring in history who demonstrate exceptional scholarship, research, and Christian character. The scholarship was created to honor the late Raymond L. Muncy, who was the Chairman in the Department of History and Social Sciences from 1965-1993. His teaching, mentoring, and scholarship modeled the best in Christian education. The award is applied toward tuition, and is granted over the span of a single academic year. The award is presented annually at the Department of History and Social Sciences Banquet.
