Larry Driggers’ Faithfulness Lives on Through Scholarship
Jacob Driggers, Sallie Driggers, Ramey Schutz, and President B. Keith Faulkner.
The late Larry T. Driggers, a former trustee, was honored for his faithfulness to Charleston Southern University at the most recent Board of Trustees meeting. His family presented a gift from his estate to create the Driggers/Schutz Family Endowed Scholarship.
Driggers was a business leader and accountant and was serving his second term on the Charleston Southern board of trustees when he died earlier this year.
His wife, Sallie Driggers, said, “Charleston Southern was part of our family long before Larry became a trustee. My parents prayed for a Christian college in the Lowcountry before there was one, and after we lost our son Tad, Larry honored him with a scholarship for students from our hometown of Hanahan. We later honored my parents and Larry’s mother, Dorothy, the same way. Larry believed deeply in CSU’s mission of integrating faith in learning, leading, and serving, and he wanted that work to continue long after he was gone. Including CSU in his estate plans was his way of making sure future students would have the same Christ-centered experience he cared so much about. Every note Larry wrote ended with ‘In His Service,’ and this gift is one more way of living that out.”
President B. Keith Faulkner described Driggers as a humble, servant leader.
“At board meetings, Larry didn’t say much, but when he did, it mattered. His generosity, humility, and steadfast faith were reflected in all he did.”
The Driggers had previously established three endowed scholarships at CSU. They combined the previous scholarships and the estate gift to create the Driggers/Schutz Family Endowed Scholarship.
