The Lillian Barton Scholarship is named in honor of a special educator. Miss Barton rendered service to the teaching profession for more than 50 years. She was a public school teacher, school administrator, and teacher educator. She has been characterized as a dedicated professional and a gracious lady. Miss Barton provided active and inspirational leadership to Eta Delta Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi for many years; therefore, it seems only fitting that this chapter assume responsibility for the administration of the Lillian Barton Memorial Scholarship Fund. To finance the scholarships, an endowment was established by donations from relatives of Miss Barton, friends, and organizations. The interest from the endowment provides scholarships for deserving teacher education majors. The recipients are selected on the bases of GPA and evidence of professional promise. The scholarship is awarded in the fall and spring semesters. Those submitting an application packet (application form, up-to-date unofficial transcript, statement of future professional goals, one letter of personal reference, two rating scale forms from professors in your academic major, one rating scale form from a professor outside your academic major) must meet following criteria.
Students must be officially admitted into the Teacher Education Program
Must be pursuing the B.S.E. or M.S.E. degree
Must have an overall GPA of 3.00 or above

Mr. Goff served as a teacher, coach, and administrator in the Wynne and Brinkley school districts, then became a principal and later superintendent in the Jonesboro Public Schools. After his retirement from Jonesboro in 1960, Mr. Goff was appointed assistant professor of education and psychology at Arkansas State, where he served for nine years.
Mrs. Goff completed her education degree at Arkansas State in 1957 and then taught elementary students for several years at East Elementary School in Jonesboro. She was also very involved in church and community activities while she lived in Jonesboro.
The children of the late Lloyd L. and June S. Goff knew that their parents placed special emphasis on education throughout their life's work. The Lloyd L. and June S. Goff Scholarship was endowed following their parents' death in 1990. It is the desire of the donors to assist in improving math and science education in the state by providing educational opportunities to outstanding recipients who plan to remain and teach in Arkansas upon graduation.
The Lloyd L. and June S. Goff Scholarship is awarded in the fall semester to a full-time junior or senior student with a 3.0 overall G.P.A. and an interest in pursuing a career in teaching at the secondary level. Preference will be given to Arkansas residents majoring in science or math education.

Mrs. Swan was a native of Randolph County, Arkansas. She attended Pocahontas Elementary School and Pocahontas High School. Pocahontas High School was her favorite high school, but she was unable to graduate from there because her parents moved to Walnut Ridge. She, consequently, graduated from Walnut Ridge High School.
Mrs. Swan attended Ft. Smith Junior College for two years prior to attending and graduating from Arkansas State College. She obtained her Remedial Reading Certificate by attending the University of Arkansas and Arkansas State University.
Mrs. Swan began her teaching career as a sixth grade teacher at the Alma Spikes Elementary School in Pocahontas, AR. In that district, she, by choice, taught only sixth graders for eight years. In the St. Charles Missouri School district, Mrs. Swan taught fourth grade for one year and then became the remedial reading teacher for 20 years. Mrs. Swan taught a total of 29 years in the Pocahontas School and St. Charles School Districts.
Mr. and Mrs. Swan planned together to set-up a scholarship to help students pursue an elementary education degree. This scholarship is in her honor because she enjoyed working with students so much and knew that all students could be successful if motivated to do his/her very best.
Award is renewable through completion of the undergraduate degree of six (6) additional semesters, whichever occurs firs, provided the recipient continues to meet all award criteria.

Alpha Delta Kappa is an International Honorary Sorority for Women Educators. As such, one of its purposes is to promote high standards of education. One way the Northeast Arkansas chapters have chosen to do this is through the presentation of a jointly-sponsored cash award each year to an outstanding undergraduate and graduate education major.
These awards are called the Sibylla and Kenneth Peters Alpha Delta Kappa Scholarship Awards in honor of Sibylla Peters' contributions and service in behalf of Alpha Delta Kappa on the local, state, and national levels and her husband, Kenneth's, financial support of this scholarship.
Applications are due into the Professional Education Programs office twice a year. Students doing an internship in a spring semester must return an application in October. Students doing an internship in a fall semester must return an application in March.
