RAYMOND L. MUNCY SCHOLARSHIP
The Raymond L. Muncy Scholarship is a one-time financial award for those 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, Chairman of the Department of History and Social Sciences from 1965-1993. His teaching, mentoring, and scholarship modeled the best in Christian education. Applied toward tuition, the award is granted over the span of a single academic year. The award is presented annually at the Department of History and Social Sciences Banquet.
Megan Sherk's "A Challenge of Faith: Why the Black Death Changed Europe’s View on the Church" and Esther Samuelson's "The Ranks of Israel: Warfare During the Reign of Saul" have been awarded the 2013 Raymond L. Muncy Scholarship.
