Alumni Couple gives $1M to benefit CU Students

Clemson University alumnus Maurice “Butch” Ferree and his wife, Joy, have created a charitable remainder trust valued at more than $1 million to benefit students in the university’s College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences.  Half of the money will establish the Dr. Maurice E. “Butch” Ferree and Joy Culver Ferree Scholarship Endowment to provide scholarships for students in the college. The other half will create an endowment to provide experiential learning opportunities for students.  This gift is part of Clemson University’s The Will to Lead $1 billion capital campaign to support Clemson students and faculty with scholarships, professorships, facilities, technology and enhanced opportunities for learning and research.
