 Harriet McKinnon Crump
Memorial Scholarship
NC CORD sponsors an endowment in memory of Harriette
McKinnon Crump, a pioneer in supporting the growth of the
resource development profession in community colleges. This $500
scholarship is awarded annually to a NC CORD member who
has been selected to attend the Council of Resource Development
(CRD) Specialist Training Program.
Harriette Crump was the rare kind of individual one seldom finds
in a lifetime. Her untiring efforts enabled NC CORD to grow and
develop to a level where success for all overshadows glory for a few.
Harriette began her career in resource development at Halifax
Community College and also worked at the College of the
Albemarle until her untimely death in 1982. Her loss left a void
for all who knew and loved her.
