Mortimer Khan Management Scholarship

Why this scholarship was established

The Mortimer Kahn Management Scholarship was established to provide tuition support for students who are majoring in management or business related fields. The Broad River Processing Company, Inc. endowed this award on 27 January 1981 in honor of long time Asheville resident and businessman Mortimer I. Kahn. Mr. Kahn, a man of high moral principle and integrity, was committed to his family and community. His belief in dealing fairly with his fellow man and in the value of hard work are the underlying principles of this financial award. Upon the death of his parents, Mr. Kahn was forced to forego his plans of being a physician and provide for his two younger sisters. Through a series of business arrangements, Mr. Kahn acquired, enhanced, and expanded the J. A. Baker Packing Company into its successor the Broad River Processing Company. His life experiences convinced Mr. Kahn of the value of higher education and imbued him with the desire to assist deserving students in accomplishing their academic goals. The award is for a bona fide North Carolina resident and is based on merit and financial need. The award is non-renewable.

Criteria for award

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

• Declare major in accounting, industrial engineering management, or management
• Be a bona fide North Carolina resident.
• Demonstrate academic excellence
• Demonstrate financial need

Selection Process

A department selection committee will recommend a candidate for the award to the full department faculty. The name of the candidate for the scholarship will then be forwarded to the Office of Financial Aid by the Chair of the Management and Accountancy Department. The Office of Financial Aid 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.
