APSURA Scholarship
The APSU Retirees Association (APSURA) has established a scholarship to be given annually to a dependent of a currently full-time employed faculty or staff member at Austin Peay State University. The first scholarship to an APSU student was given in 2020, to honor of the late James Clemmer. The APSURA endowment will provide scholarships to students in future years and will be a reminder of the work and devotion of retirees to the University.
