The
Scholarship Committee of the Miami County Bar Association announces it is
currently receiving applications for scholarship grants from the J. Andrew
Fulker Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Fund was established, in cooperation with
the Troy Foundation, as a lasting tribute to Troy Attorney J. Andrew Fulker who
died in an auto accident in 1989.
Andy
Fulker was a 1971 graduate of Troy High School. He received a Bachelor’s Degree
from The Ohio State University in 1976 and his Juris Doctor degree from
California Western School of Law in 1979. He was admitted to the practice of
law in Ohio in 1979 and became a partner in the Troy law firm of Faust,
Harrelson, Fulker & McCarthy. He served as Assistant Municipal
Prosecutor for the City of Troy from 1979 to 1982 and as counsel for the Miami
County Planning and Zoning Boards from 1979 through 1981. He was a member of
the Miami County, Ohio State, and American Bar Associations, the Ohio Academy
of Trial Lawyers, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and Ohio Association
of Civil Trial Attorneys.
The
scholarship fund is designed to assist deserving law students who are residents
of Miami County. Recipients of J. Andrew Fulker Memorial Scholarship grants
will be selected by the Scholarship Committee of the Miami County Bar
Association. Grants will be used for law school tuition. To be eligible an
applicant must be admitted for full-time attendance at a college of law or law
school in a program designed to lead to a Juris Doctor or similar law degree.
The
scholarship fund operates as an endowment fund with grants awarded from the
income earned on the principal of the fund. Gifts to the J. Andrew Fulker
Memorial Scholarship Fund are eligible for deduction as a charitable
contribution for federal income tax purposes. Contributions may be made payable
