Emmett W. Cocke, Jr. Scholarship

The Emmett W. Cocke, Jr. Scholarship was established in 2000 through gifts from Pace Memorial United Methodist Church in memory of Rev. Emmett W. Cocke, Jr., who served as pastor of Pace and as the United Methodist campus minister at VCU from 1973-1979. Cocke was deeply devoted to serving the poor and marginalized in society.

The Emmett W. Cocke, Jr., Scholarship is awarded to a full-time M.S.W. student who has completed at least one semester of the program and demonstrated a commitment to serving the poor and marginalized in society. The student must demonstrate both academic success and financial need as determined by VCU Office of Financial Aid.
