Austin Peay State University is excited to announce the creation of a new scholarship endowment.
The school reports alumni Billy and Wendy Duvall, of Hopkinsville, recently made a generous contribution to the APSU Foundation to establish the Duvall Family Scholarship Endowment to benefit students.
Billy graduated from the college in 1988 with bachelor’s degrees in accounting and finance. He worked for Heritage Bank for 18 years, serving as vice president, CFO, and treasurer until the bank was sold last year. Billy now serves as the chief financial officer of Farmers Bank and Trust in Princeton.
Wendy graduated from APSU in 1994 with bachelor’s degrees in interdisciplinary studies and general studies. She worked as a teacher in Robertson County, Tennessee and Christian County, where she currently serves at the principal of Hopkinsville Middle School.
To be eligible, students must be accounting or finance majors enrolled full-time at the school with a high school GPA of 3.0 or an undergraduate GPA of 2.5. Preference will be given to students who graduate from public schools in Christian County, Cheatham County, Tennessee, or graduate Hopkinsville Community College. Students who maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA can renew the scholarship one time, with the first one to be awarded this fall.
