Carrie Woodburn Johnson Endowment

The Carrie Woodburn Johnson Endowment was established by the late Mrs. Johnson Tweedy in 1987-88 with the sum of $250,000. Dr. Les Cochran, Provost, began to place $100,000 aside each year to build the endowment, with the goal of reaching one million dollars. Provosts Charles Kupchella and Jane Stephens finished the project in 2009. Since then, the endowment has been used to award individual grants to faculty, staff, and student groups at Southeast Missouri State University to enrich the Kent Library collection.

The Carrie Woodburn Johnson Endowment Grant programs are facilitated through Acquisitions. Requested materials can be electronic, print, or physical format. They must be acquired as a one-time purchase. Materials with recurring costs cannot be purchased with Endowment funds. Specific requirements for each grant program and applications are detailed below.
