The MPA Alumni Association established this endowment in honor of three MPA faculty members: Donald Hayman, Kenneth Howard, and Deil S. Wright. The endowment supports a student scholarship as well as other educational opportunities that honor their spirit of innovation and contributions to the growth and success of the program.
Donald B. Hayman (1919–2010) had a 40-year career at the Institute of Government (now the School of Government), during which time his research led to the adoption in North Carolina of the council-manager form of government. Kenneth Howard pioneered budgeting improvements in North Carolina and served as the MPA program director from 1968–1973. Deil S. Wright (1930–2009) was internationally recognized as a leading authority on intergovernmental relations and served as MPA program director from 1973–1979
All students are eligible for this scholarship based on their academic background and areas of interests upon their admittance into the MPA Program.
