McCorkle Scholarship Fund

In memory of his parents, Philip Hunter McCorkle and Mary Smith McCorkle, Cavert K. McCorkle, MD ’72, retired neurosurgeon, has provided in his estate plans for the creation of two endowed scholarships. Because his parents sacrificed to support him through his pursuit of a medical career, he promised them he would give back to the institutions that also helped him achieve his career accomplishments as a way to honor them. It is his wish to provide current funding for students based on academic merit and financial need, so the McCorkle Scholarship Fund has been created.

Selection Criteria:

• Need/Merit
• Awarded to an incoming student with continuation, pending satisfactory academic and professionalism progress
