Joe W. Stout Memorial Endowed Scholarship

After the Great Depression, Joe Wiley Stout, Jr. moved from Sanford to Fayetteville in the early 1940s. He had only the experience of working for his father in Sanford and his father’s name but it was enough because Joe W. Stout, Jr.‘s legacy to the greater Fayetteville community is monumental. Mr. Stout died in 1988 at age 73. Among his creations are Eutaw Shopping Center, Eutaw Apartments, Greenwood Homes, the Heart of Fayetteville Motor Inn and Bordeaux Shopping Center. All of these developments were accomplished through his company, Joe W. Stout Construction Company. In 1989, Joe Stout, Jr. was presented, posthumously, the distinguished Methodist University’s Business Man of the Year award.
Dr. Frank P. Stout and his family established the Joe W. Stout Memorial Endowed Scholarship in 1993.
