In fall 1903 Home Economics awarded the first Lewisohn Scholarship to Alice Deaderick. The funds, pledged in 1952 for an initial five years, were provided annually for 50 years by Frederick Lewishon of New York City. The award was a grant of $250 for “the best student needing help to complete a course preparatory to teaching the industrial arts in southern schools.” In 1952 Lewisohn gave UT a gift of $6,000 as an endowment to assure the continuation of the award.
