The first gift of $2.4 million will create an endowment to fund at least six full-tuition Everett Chancellors’ Scholarships for highly promising law students from North Carolina, according to a UNC news release. A $300,000 gift will endow the Everett Enrichment Fund, which will provide program support of all students awarded Chancellors’ Scholarships at the law school.

 

“The Kathrine R. Everett Trust is proud to support UNC School of Law and its mission to serve the people of North Carolina,” said Greg Everett, a trustee of the Kathrine R. Everett Charitable Trust and Kathrine Everett’s grandson in the release. “I know how much her alma mater meant to my grandmother, and it is an honor to support student scholarships in her name. She would be thrilled to know her gifts will serve to attract the very best and brightest students from the state to UNC School of Law and will contribute to the education of the state’s future lawyers and leaders.”
