FSU alumna and retired educator donates to university in honor of late husband
A retired educator and Fayetteville State University alumna has donated $30,000 to the university in honor of her late husband.
Nealie McLean, a 1952 graduate, made the donation to establish the Dexter and Nealie McLean Endowed Scholarship. Her goal is to contribute $100,000 to support band and athletic scholarships.
McLean, who taught in the Robeson County school system for 32 years, is a member of the Bronco Legacy Circle. The legacy circle recognizes alumni and friends who have remembered FSU through a planned gift or bequest.
"As demonstrated by the number of college graduates in her family, it is apparent education is important to Mrs. McLean," said Chancellor James Anderson. "I am extremely grateful that she wants to see the children of other families get the education that they deserve. This donation will certainly benefit young men and women who otherwise might not be able to get a college education."
