he Batten Scholars Program is an endowed multi-million dollar gift of Frank Batten ’45, an emeritus member of The Culver Educational Foundation Board of Trustees. Mr. Batten retired in 1998 after 41 years as chairman of Landmark Communications, Inc., a privately held media company. Born in Virginia, he graduated from Culver Military Academy as a captain of Company C. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Beginning his career as a newspaper reporter and advertising salesman with The Virginian-Pilot and Ledger-Star in Norfolk, Virginia, Mr. Batten was named publisher in 1954 at the age of 27. He expanded the newspaper company by constructing cable TV systems in the South and Midwest in what later became TeleCable. Landmark subsequently purchased 10 additional dailies and more than 100 non-daily papers. In 1982 it launched its first national medium, The Weather Channel. Long a champion of higher education, in 2003 Mr. Batten donated more than $170 million to seven schools and educational institutions, including an additional $20 million to Culver Academies. That gift is being used to enhance the quality of teaching at Culver – for faculty development, curriculum improvements and additions, acquisition of new educational technologies, and other innovations expected to improve students’ educational and developmental experiences.
The Batten Scholars Program 2013-2014
In the fall of 2008, Frank and Jane Batten presented Culver with an unparalleled opportunity in the form of the Batten Leadership Challenge. The Battens pledged up to $50 million in matching funds for every penny donated to the Culver endowment through January 31, 2010. And then the Battens upped the ante by offering to also match every gift to the Annual Fund from April 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010, with a like amount to the endowment. When the Batten Leadership Challenge ended on January 31, 2010, Culver Academies had earned the entire $50 million in matching funds available, an appropriate and lasting memorial to Frank Batten, who died September 10, 2009.
