Veronica Pendleton created the fund several years ago with a plan to provide an eventual gift from her estate. The endowed fund will provide monetary support to students who choose to study forestry, agriculture or marine sciences in the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture. It is expected that the fund will provide $100,000 in scholarships annually.
