James L. Yearout
Degree Completion Scholarship
James L. Yearout
Why the
Scholarship was Established:
Because
of his belief in the value of education and his desire to support
upper level students in the Department of Management and Accountancy
at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, Mr. James L.
Yearout, through his estate as represented by Dr. Robert D. Yearout
and Donald Mercer of Mercer Incorporated, Waynesboro Virginia,
co-executers, made an initial gift of five thousand dollars to the
University of North Carolina at Asheville Foundation, Inc.
The
initial donation was allowed to accrue income through consulting
fees and matching gifts from Management and Accountancy Alumni until
it reached a balance of ten thousand dollars. At that point, the net
income of the fund was and is used to provide scholarships for
students attending the University of North Carolina at Asheville.
The amount available for the scholarship varies from year to year
depending on the amount of income earned by the base fund.
