Why
this scholarship was established
This
endowment was established in 1988 by Mr. George G. Harris a longtime
friend and business associate of Mr. Ernest Mills, and twelve other
friends and business associates. In his letter establishing the
endowment, Mr. Harris stated that "Ernest Mills of Mills
Manufacturing Company, Asheville, North Carolina, was a man who
exemplified the highest ethical standards. His thoughtfulness of
others and praise for his family were immense. As a businessman, he
was unique. He was most knowledgeable about all business and
economic matters. Above all, he was honest and was an expert in his
field of being the largest single producer of parachutes for the
United States and the Free World. This endowment that honors Mr.
Mills and all the principles that he exemplified was established to
provide assistance to deserving students majoring in business,
economics, and management.
