McNair presented Clawson Scholarship
Matt McNair of Pearl has been awarded the William Clawson Scholarship from the Mississippi Baptist Convention’s Board of Ministerial Education. McNair is a senior church music major.
The Board of Ministerial Education established the Clawson Scholarship in 1987 to honor Dr. William Clawson upon his retirement. He served for many years as chairman of the religion department at William Carey College and as campus representative to the Board of Ministerial Education. Prior to coming to WCU, Clawson served as a Southern Baptist missionary in Mexico. Dr. Clawson passed away in 2013.
The annual scholarship of $1,000 is to be used for educational expenses. McNair was selected for the award based on recommendations by the faculty and staff of William Carey University.
