Professor Stephen Dow Beckham

Professor Stephen Dow Beckham Scholarship



The Professor Stephen Dow Beckham Scholarship was established through the generosity of many donors in recognition of Professor Beckham’s profound impact on students, alumni, and friends during his 34 years of teaching in all three schools at Lewis & Clark. It celebrates his accomplishments, recognizes his many contributions, and encourages scholars to study his academic specialties. Recipients of the scholarship are history majors who have identified particular interest in the history of the American West, the American Indian, or the Pacific Northwest, areas of academic inquiry for Professor Beckham.
