Warr Family Scholarship

This scholarship was established by the Charles Preston Winters Foundation to honor and revere Mr. and Mrs. C.V. Warr for their pioneering spirits in the early days of Arkansas State University, beginning in 1910 when Mr. Warr was employed as farm manager and business manager and Mrs. Warr was employed as Matron of Halls and managed the campus dining room, and for their leadership during more than 30 years of Arkansas State University’s history. The Warr’s raised their daughter, Margaret Warr Winters Wall, on the campus of Arkansas State. She was a 1932 four-year graduate of what was then Arkansas State College. She, too, worked for the improvement of the institution, serving as secretary to President V.C. Kays. Mrs. Wall passed away in December 1999. Katherine Winters McCracken, the daughter of Margaret Warr and Charles Preston Winters, is a trustee of the Charles Preston Winters Foundation of West Point, Miss., and it is through her interest in A-State that this scholarship comes to benefit deserving students.
