Air Force Captain Lorence died in the line of duty over Libya in 1986. He is survived his wife and son, and by his parents, the Krugers. The Krugers present the Paul Lorence Undergraduate Scholarship in History, a cash prize of $500.00 to one student a year in the Department of History.

Former Department Chair Jerry Combs says "the scholarship is intended to recognize accomplishment by a History Major."  Grade point average and participation in History Department activities will be taken into consideration. For more information on the Paul Lorence Scholarship, please send an email to the department chair or ask your faculty advisor.
