Charles and Rae Perkins Scholarship - USU Brigham City

Charles and Rae Perkins Scholarship
Utah State University Brigham City Regional Campus
Fall 2015-Spring 2016
Description:
The Charles and Rae Perkins Scholarship was created to assist students in obtaining an education. The Perkins believed
in education even though neither Charles nor Rae completed a college degree, and it was education that helped them to
a high-degree of financial success. The couple named USU the primary beneficiary of their estate with the goal of
helping dedicated students complete their degrees without the added burden of financial difficulty. In their honor the
Charles and Rae Perkins Student Lounge was created within the Milton P. Miller building on the Brigham City Regional
Campus.
