The Dr. Fred Tilock ‘54
Scholarship Fund to be Awarded
Dr. Tilock was a member of Beta Theta Pi during his
years at Bethany and remained active with the fraternity throughout his life.
His gift is designated to provide scholarship assistance for children or
grandchildren of alumni from any Beta Theta Pi chapter who choose to attend
Bethany College. The first scholarship will be offered for the 2009-10 academic
year.
A native of Lorain, Ohio, Dr. Tilock followed a
well-worn family path to Bethany College shortly after World War II. His
father, Walter Tilock, played football at Bethany, graduated in 1920 and later
served on the Board of Trustees. Dr. Tilock’s grandfather, Herbert, graduated
from Bethany in the late 1800s. His uncle and namesake, Frederick H. Tilock,
Sr., graduated in 1917.
Dr. Tilock graduated from Bethany College in 1954
with a B.S. in Biology and went on to earn his medical degree at Temple
University in Philadelphia. He spent more than two decades as a pathologist with
the United States Navy and served for 10 years at Tri City Hospital in
Oceanside, Calif.
Scholarship recipients will be selected based on
need and academic achievement. In order for a student to continue receiving
scholarship benefits after his initial grant, he must maintain a Grade Point
Average (GPA) equal to or higher than the average GPA of all students in the
recipient’s class year.
