There are also several endowed & named scholarship funds that have been established as a result of generous gifts to the scholarship program through the years. The most recently endowed scholarship fund was established by a donor in 2001 to honor the memory and the commitment to education of Ernest R. Ellis and Lithie Phillips Ellis. Other endowed funds include: Fannie Mit Case Scholarship Fund, Carrie Forbis Ferguson Scholarship Fund, Ronda Robbins Memorial Scholarship Fund, Ethelyne Shelley Scholarship Fund, Weaver Memorial Scholarship Fund, and the Herbin-Motley Scholarship Fund. All scholarship funds are administered by the Scholarship Committee of the Western North Carolina Conference United Methodist Women.
