Joe and Mary Kirk Endowed Endowed Scholarship
The Joe and Mary Kirk Endowed Scholarship was established by Dr. Roy G. Moss, Jr. in memory of Joe E. Kirk, Sr and Mary Kirk to provide financial assistance to selected students majoring in the Department of Health and Kinesiology. Joe graduated from SHSU in 1925 and Mary in 1931, both with physical education degrees. Joe was a football letterman from 1921 through 1925 and was inducted into the All-Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1925 and the Sam Houston State University Hall of Honor in 1975. He was Professor and Director of Men’s Physical Education until his retirement in 1972. Mary taught physical education in Sugarland, Texas public schools, 1931-32. It is the Donor’s intent for the endowment to provide one or more annual scholarship awards to be announced in the spring and disbursed the following academic year, half in the fall and the remaining half in the spring semester. This scholarship was established to assist with education expenses.
