Perdue School General Scholarship

Frank Perdue is a local success story. But, more than that, Frank Perdue’s success is a story of tenacity and a commitment to doing the best one can to succeed.

I got my philosophy from my father. He was a quality minded individual. He didn’t do it halfway; he did it completely and the best he knew how.
Frank Perdue

Throughout his lifetime, Frank Perdue’s passion and drive became legendary. The exhibits you will see throughout the museum cover the history to date of the company founded in 1920 by his parents, Arthur and Pearl Perdue, and continuing under his son Jim’s leadership today. But it was Frank’s leadership that began the company on a journey to worldwide expansion.

Salisbury University and the SU Foundation, Inc. is grateful to have known Frank and has flourished because of his leadership and dedication to SU. His company, Perdue Farms, along with The Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, has been instrumental in our continued success.
