E. Urner Goodman Scholarship Fund


The E. Urner Goodman Scholarship program has been suspended, and is no longer available. This page is provided for recognition of past recipients.

The purpose of the E. Urner Goodman Scholarship program was to assist members of the Order of the Arrow who are preparing for a professional Scouting career. Grants were provided to help fulfill the financial obligations of their college education.

The National Order of the Arrow committee established the scholarship fund as a meaningful living memorial to the founder of the Order and to help perpetuate recruitment of high-caliber, service-minded individuals dedicated to professional Scouting service.

E. Urner Goodman, founder of the Order of the Arrow, was a teacher before entering the professional service of the Boy Scouts of America in 1915. He retired as national director of Program in 1951. Dr Goodman believed strongly that a professional career in Scouting provided an excellent method of serving one's fellow man.
