Richard M. Hargrove Endowed Scholarship

The Richard M. Hargrove Endowed Scholarship was established in June 2006 by Richard Hargrove. Dr. Rick Hargrove, Associate Professor of Marketing, joined HPU in 1995 and was an inspiration and a delight to students and faculty with his varied interests, professional experience, and creativity. His interests in eBay transactions and photography tied in nicely to the marketing profession. He is a former freelance photographer and small business owner. Dr. Hargrove taught principles of marketing, personal selling – sales management, consumer behavior, and marketing research. Dr. Hargrove earned his Ph.D. in Marketing and Consumer Behavior at the University of Mississippi, his MBA at the University of Southern Mississippi, and his Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology at Tulane University. He retired from High Point University in 2016. Recipients of the Hargrove Scholarship will be selected by the Office of Financial Planning based on need to a student from The Earl N. Phillips School of Business.
