Hall M. Calhoun III Scholarship Established at UACCM

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) is honored to share that the Hall M. Calhoun III Scholarship has been established as a new Foundation scholarship at the college.

 

The scholarship is established by Judy Calhoun in memory of her late husband Hall Calhoun.

 

Hall graduated from Morrilton High School in 1957 and after earning a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of Arkansas, he returned to Morrilton and served as owner/manager of Oates-Calhoun Farms, Inc for over 50 years.

 

In addition, Hall also served on the Morrilton School Board for 8 years, Petit Jean State Bank Board for over 30 years, and on the Conway County Farm Bureau Board for 48 years.

 

“UACCM is so thankful to Judy and the entire Calhoun family for letting UACCM carry on the memory of Hall through this scholarship,” said UACCM Development Officer Lauren Bryan.

 

“Hall’s dedication to Morrilton left a generational impact on the area. This scholarship will help continue that work, and continue the wonderful legacy he has left behind,” she continued.

 

The scholarship is for up to $500 annually and targeted to students in the UACCM welding program under part-time or full-time enrollment, meeting a GPA of at least 2.5. Graduates from Morrilton High School will be given preference.
