(firmenpresse) - KANSAS CITY, MO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/04/13 -- Grantham University, , has named Technical Sergeant (TSgt) Noel Fox of Lompoc, Cali., as the recipient of the first annual Eugene "Gene" Jewett Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship, valued up to $37,000, covers the cost of tuition, textbooks, software and associated fees for the completion of an undergraduate or graduate degree in Grantham's Mark Skousen School of Business. TSgt Fox, a 4.0 student, is pursuing his Master of Business Administration (MBA).
Established in 2013 by Grantham University, the scholarship honors the late Eugene "Gene" Jewett, a thought leader, early advocate of online education, and GEC board member.
TSgt Fox has served in the United States Air Force for 17 years, and hopes to use his MBA to better manage, motivate, and inspire those he leads, currently and in the future.

"I'll be able to stay on pace with my educational plan, regardless of sequestration, and become a diverse and productive member of society long after I have left military service."
"Mr. Jewett saw the benefits available to students like TSgt Fox through the power of online education," said Dr. Jeffrey Cropsey, Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and External Relations. "Students who might otherwise be unable to pursue their educational dreams can now do so thanks to those who led the charge, like Mr. Jewett, which is why we are proud to honor his memory with this scholarship."
