Schulz Scholarship Application Form

Whole Man Leadership Award

Arthur F. Schulz Jr.

Arthur Schulz believed that all students who are qualified should have an opportunity to attend Principia. These scholarships are for one year, are based solely upon merit (with a minimum GPA of 3.5), and are additional to any other aid awarded. In 1982 The Principia Alumni Association established a special endowment fund in his memory. With income from this fund, several $3,000 scholarships are awarded each year to Upper School freshmen who are children or grandchildren of members of the Alumni Association. These scholarships are for one year, are based solely upon merit, and are given in addition to any other aid awarded.

A leader of Principia for nearly 30 years, Art Schulz embodied many talents and filled numerous positions. As a much-loved Middle School housepop, football and baseball coach, assistant dean and dean of boys, headmaster, vice-president, and president, Art had an uncanny perceptiveness. He inspired confidence in the people with whom he worked. As a speaker with fresh and practical ideas, he won our hearts with his illustrations of Christian living that sometimes brought peals of laughter and ended in quiet, serious thinking. This tribute to Art supports his vision of Principia as a unique leavening in the field of education.
