Announcing the
Theodore Drury Stowe
Science & Technology Scholarship
at South Point High School
Belmont, North Carolina
Just over one hundred years ago, my father was born in Gaston County. The Great Depression, the early
death of his father and World War II all got in the way his being able to pursue a college degree. However,
for his entire life he pursued knowledge wherever he went. He developed the Quality Control Testing
Laboratory for R. L. Stowe Mills which he managed until his retirement in 1983.
As a lasting legacy to his belief that scientific knowledge was the key to a brighter future, his family is
proud to announce the creation of the Theodore Drury Stowe Science & Technology Scholarship. Each
year, it will provide a renewable $1000 scholarship award to a graduating South Point High School Senior
who plans to major in a scientific field at an accredited university.
You can honor his memory and help our students achieve their goals by contributing to the scholarship
fund. We hope it will be able to grow with time to keep pace with the ever rising cost of college tuition.
