Curated by C-SC faculty, the annual Senior Capstone Exhibition highlights each student’s individual creative direction and the culmination of their academic and artistic development.

“Our seniors have grown into confident, curious makers who are unafraid to explore new ideas. Uncharted Paths celebrates their creativity and their courage, with each piece offering a glimpse into where they’ve been and the exciting directions they’re ready to pursue,” said Jennifer Bock-Nelson, C-SC Assistant Professor of Studio Art.

The exhibition features work from the following seniors:

• Renee Allen, Davenport, Iowa — BA Art
• Damarai Allison, Hannibal, Missouri — BS Art Education

The Pell Promise Program is a new program at C-SC and is specifically designed for students who have an unmet need for financial assistance. Assisting students in the local area with additional aid in acquiring access to a Culver-Stockton education excites President Douglas B. Palmer. “The Pell Promise is the first of its kind for small private institutions in our area, and we are proud to lead the way here on “the Hill,” Palmer said. “Through this program, we will meet the needs of students who want and desire a small, private, community-focused college education with the financial support they need to thrive and be successful.”

The Pell Promise Program is provided as a renewable scholarship based on a student’s annual FAFSA. To be eligible, an incoming student must have a 2.75 GPA  and must apply and be accepted to the College by July 1, 2022.  To participate in the program, students must live on-campus to take full advantage of all student-focused success services; therefore, any private awards earned will be applied to the cost of room and board.  91ֱ�� is also offering this program to current students already enrolled based on the same criteria beginning in fall 2022.

In addition to the financial support, Pell Promise recipients will receive student services, including access to no-cost peer tutoring, success coaches, first-generation programming if applicable, participation in an alumni mentorship program, and increased awareness and accessibility of school resources.

As 91ֱ�� continues to prepare students of promise for a dynamic world, they are proud to lead the way in removing barriers and support students in their journey for success within a supportive learning community.
