Walker College alumnus Lee Barnes has pledged $300,000 to establish the Lee Barnes Benefaction for Learning Enhancement and Enrichment, which will continue support for the Barnes Scholars Program, the premiere scholarship for Walker College of Business students.
The Barnes Scholars Program was established by Barnes and his wife, Christy, in 2012, and this recent pledge will extend the program for years to come. The gift will also serve to further student and faculty research endeavors in the college through grant program offerings.
Barnes, a Walker College alumnus, is a member of Appalachian State University's Board of Trustees. Read more about Lee Barnes.
The Barnes Program Student Research Grants provide business students with up to $2000 in funding to engage in research with a faculty mentor outside of the normal classroom experience.
