APSU Military Alumni Chapter endowing scholarship honoring local veteran

Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University Military Alumni Chapter hosted its second annual scholarship endowment dinner on November 6th as part of the University’s Homecoming Week celebration.

During the event, the chapter honored retired Command Sgt. Maj. Sidney Brown, a Vietnam War veteran and active member of the Clarksville-Montgomery County community.

Brown served as the dinner’s keynote speaker, and the chapter is working to endow two scholarships, with one being named in Brown’s honor.

The scholarships will benefit active duty military and veteran students, their spouses and their children and APSU ROTC cadets.

At the dinner, Brown donated $1,000 toward the scholarship named in his honor.

“APSU has been good to me, and I am grateful to give back,” he said.

The APSU Military Alumni Chapter was chartered on October 26th, 2012, to support the APSU National Alumni Association, as well as the APSU Alumni Relations Office, through direct engagement with military and veterans-based organizations at APSU and within the Clarksville community.
