This four-year, or eight semesters, honor is bestowed upon five exceptional first-time freshmen each year. Recipients will be selected from among the top 10 percent of the year’s applicant pool and will be invited to interview on campus in February. The selection committee will consider all students with outstanding academic records, strong admission essays and evidence of leadership and active involvement in their school, church and community. Completed applications for admission to the College must be postmarked by 12/15 of a student's senior year to be considered for the Trustee Scholarship. Preferential consideration will be given to students who attend a campus visit program or who have an official individual visit with the admission office prior to December 15. | |

The fledgling college grew under his leadership for fourteen years. Consistent with the work of his siblings, famous writer Harriett Beecher Stowe and popular American preacher Henry Ward Beecher, Edward was a devoted abolitionist who organized the first anti-slavery society in Illinois. Beecher Hall, the oldest college building in the state, bears the family name and remains in use on campus today.
