SUMMARY:C.G. Gordon Moss Scholars Program – Apply Today
DESCRIPTION:Now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 academic year.\nThe C.G. Moss Scholars Program at the Moton Museum is a collaborative program with Longwood University and commemorates the legacy of Dr. C. G. Gordon Moss\, who served as a Professor of History at Longwood College from 1944-1969. Dr. Moss became an outspoken advocate of reopening the schools and of equality and justice for all American citizens. The Moss Scholars are selected annually and serve in a leadership role working alongside museum staff to help connect Longwood students with the Moton Museum beyond an initial visit by providing opportunities for volunteer experiences with the museum\, assisting museum staff in building engagement experiences around Moton for the broader campus community\, and engagement with the broader Farmville/Prince Edward community. \nAs Moss Scholars\, students take on a visible leadership role\, helping to build meaningful connections between Longwood University and the Robert Russa Moton Museum. Through this work\, scholars support student engagement\, contribute to campus-wide experiences\, and help extend the reach of the Moton story into the broader Farmville and Prince Edward County community. \nEach selected Moss Scholar will receive a $1\,250 scholarship for the 2026-2027 academic year. \n\nEligibility Requirements \nApplicants must: \n\nBe a student in good academic and disciplinary standing\nBe seeking a degree from Longwood University\nBe currently enrolled full-time as a junior or senior\nDemonstrate a commitment to the ideals reflected in the legacy of Dr. C.
