Program Description

The K. Ann Dempsey Scholarship shall be awarded to students who attend St. Louis Community College (STLCC) at Florissant Valley.

Dr. Dempsey served in the English Department as Chair and the last eleven years as the Honors Program Chair. Some of her most rewarding teaching experiences came while she was establishing the leading the Honor Program at Florissant Valley, which gave students the opportunity to excel beyond the course syllabus and develop their own intellectual capacities.

The scholarship program was created to help students stay in the program. The money is intended for whatever the students need to do that – such as baby-sitting, books, or unexpected expenses.
