The scholarship was established in memory of Eugene Harrison, father of Antony Harrison, professor in the NC State English Department for over 30 years. Eugene and Pamela Harrison brought their young family to the United States in 1951, after which he became British Consul Commercial based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Throughout his life he was a friend to education and the arts, with a particular penchant for drama. Before serving in the British infantry he was an actor and dancer. The fund will award a scholarship to an undergraduate student in the Department of English.
