Belk announces retail-management scholarships
Johnson C. Smith University students studying retail management can benefit from a $500,000 donation, The Belk Foundation announced Monday.
At least four business majors will be named Belk Scholars this spring. They will get a $2,500 scholarship, be matched with a Belk employee as a mentor, and take part in business training through the department-store chain.
"This scholarship will provide needed financial support to high-achieving students and will be a wonderful opportunity for our employees to engage with students to provide real-world guidance and experience," said Adam Orvos, Belk's executive vice president of human resources and a member of the JCSU Business Advisory Board.
JCSU President Ronald Carter said the endowed scholarship will help the historically black university develop a stronger retail management concentration. Ann Doss Helms
