Lacy T. Haith & James V. Miller Endowed Scholarship

This endowment was established in memory of two African-American pioneers Lacy T. Haith (Educator) and James V. Miller (Master Mason). It is awarded to deserving African-American students enrolled in any curriculum program. Mr. Haith came to Asheville to teach in 1937. He taught carpentry and other vocational skills at Stephens-Lee High School. He also taught his students the value of a good education. Mr. Miller is noted for constructing many of Asheville’s graceful churches, public buildings, and homes that remain today. Both Haith and Miller were very influential figures in the African-American community. Recipients must have a 2.0 GPA. Preference is given to students with the greatest financial need.
