Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts Scholarship

Years before Charles and Martha Fulton endowed the Fulton School of Liberal Arts and created the Fulton Scholarship at Salisbury University, they offered to send deserving people to SU; a full ride so to speak, on them. Most folks that were given this opportunity declined, a few took the opportunity and got the education they could not afford. Education, whether it be pre-school, elementary, middle, high school, college or graduate school was very important to the Fulton family. “Chuck”, as he was known to his colleagues and friends, did not have the luxury of furthering his education after high school, but this did not stop him from experiencing constant learning opportunities throughout his life. Martha was a student during the late 1930’s when the college was named, Salisbury State Teachers College. Although she decided that teaching was not for her, she did transfer and graduate from Goldey Beacom Business School in Wilmington, Delaware.

With the creation of this scholarship, it was their hope that they could be the catalyst to provide a quality education from a well-known local university. They were so excited to be able to share with those who are serious about their future and considered it a privilege to help those students. Our family is trying to follow in their footsteps to keep this worthwhile endeavor going for those students who are dedicated to enhancing their knowledge through higher education.
