Nancy Ashton Scholarship

The Nancy Ashton Scholarship is an endowment established by members of the faculty and staff of Stockton University in her memory. Nancy Ashton died on January 9, 2013 at the age of 62. She was a vital part of the Women’s Studies program since her arrival at Stockton in 1977, introduced the community action project for Perspectives on Women, creator of at least three Women’s Studies courses in the School of General Studies, was an early proponent of transforming the curriculum to integrate gender, race, and class, and won two humanities grants from the State of New Jersey to support faculty development workshops on these themes. The award benefits undergraduate students with a major or minor in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Recipients must be enrolled full-time and be in good academic standing to qualify for this award.
