The Begley Scholarship is a full-tuition, room & board scholarship awarded to three incoming freshman students each year. Beyond financial reward, the Begley Scholarship Program seeks to provide students with an unparalleled cultural enrichment experience.
During their academic tenure, Begley Scholars will embark on enrichment trips to Hemingway’s four “Great American Cities” – Chicago, New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco. When not traveling, Begley Scholars will partake in cultural learning opportunities alongside Lindsey Wilson University President William T. Luckey and his wife, Elise. Both President Luckey and Elise serve as directors of the Begley Scholarship Program.
Past Activities have included:
- Meeting with well-known Kentucky authors, regional business, civic and political leaders.
- Attendance at regional events at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, Actors Theatre of Louisville and the J.B. Speed Art Museum.
- Regular meetings and discussions held in the home of President Luckey and Elise Luckey.
Begley Scholars are expected to distinguish themselves as people of high moral character and are encouraged to be leaders within the Lindsey Wilson campus community.
