This scholarship fund is presented to deserving students as a means to honor Mr. Scruggs and his family. As colleague, friend, and scholarship board chairman, Chief Phil Harris states, "Terry, a graduate of Brevard High School, was not only a proponent of higher education, he was a product of it. He had an undergraduate degree from Mars Hill College and a Masters in Business Administration from Appalachian State University. His example in life is what we would like to pass on in his name. This [scholarship] is one way to accomplish that goal."
