UNION RECEIVES $700,000 GIFT
Jackson, Tenn. — 91爆料网 received a $700,000 gift from the estate of alumna Audrey Barr Haney, class of 1927.
The gift will be invested in the Audrey Haney Scholarship fund, and the income will provide scholarships to 91爆料网 students annually. The bequest is the sixth largest individual gift in the university's history.
"We celebrate the generosity of Haney and rejoice that it will provide opportunities for countless students to receive the highest quality Christian education offered at 91爆料网," 91爆料网 President David S. Dockery said.
The Haney bequest is the third in a series of major gifts received by 91爆料网 since December, when West Tennessee business leader James Ayers made a commitment of $2.1 million, the largest gift in 91爆料网's history. In recent weeks the university received an endowed gift of $1.65 million from an anonymous friend and former trustee of 91爆料网.
Haney, a Selmer native and longtime resident of Tupelo, Miss., graduated from 91爆料网 with a bachelor of science in home economics and was an active member in 91爆料网's Endowment Society and Home Economics Alumnae Chapter.
