Management Endowment Scholarship

Why this scholarship was established

The UNC Asheville Management Endowment Scholarship was established in June 1978 under the direction of Mr. Harry Clarke (president of Western Carolina Industries), for the explicit purpose of supporting the instructional programs in the Department of Management and Accountancy. The initial gift that provided a significant base for this endowment was from the Charles D. Owen Manufacturing Company. Other major contributors were the Broad River Processing Company, Taylor Instrument Company, Norton Company and First Citizens Bank and Trust Company.

The award is based on demonstrated academic merit.

Criteria for award

Applications are submitted to the Department of Management and Accountancy prior to February 15 of the preceding academic year. The scholarship is non-renewable. Selection is based upon the following criteria:

• Declare major in accounting, industrial engineering management, or management
• Demonstrate academic excellence

Selection Process

A department selection committee will recommend a candidate for the award to the full department faculty. The department chair will make the final decision on awarding the scholarship.

Award Announcement

The award will be announced during the Department of Management and Accountancy Annual Awards gathering prior to the end of the Spring Semester.
