J.A. Campbell Scholarship Competition
James A. Campbell
Founding President
James Archibald Campbell, both a preacher and a teacher, founded Buies Creek Academy in 1887 at a time when there had not been a school operating in the area for at least three years.
We remain true to James A. Campbell’s vision since he founded the school in 1887. His vision, in his own words: “to educate leaders.” Today, we continue to cultivate leaders prepared for purposeful lives and meaningful service.
J.A. Campbell Scholarship Award
Each year, five students are chosen to receive a full-tuition scholarship valued at approximately $41,000 per academic year, for eight consecutive semesters in your undergraduate degree, provided the recipient is enrolled full-time, maintains good academic standing, meets residence life requirements, and continues to demonstrate a strong leadership ability and commitment to service.
Other Scholarship Awards
Each student who interviewed for the JA Campbell scholarship but was not awarded one of the five full-tuition scholarships will be awarded a $2,000 annual scholarship. The award will be honored for $1,000 for eight consecutive semesters.
