Richard Popernik
Richard Popernik received his bachelors and masters degree from Ole Miss. He enjoyed his time that he spent here. His family has started a memorial scholarship in his honor.
The scholarship is to be used exclusively by the Department of Legal Studies. Currently funded at $25,000.00, the family hopes that the former students, professional associates, and personal friends of Chief Popernik will also be willing to help increase this level of funding. If you wish to participate, please make your donation to The Ole Miss Foundation and put “For the Richard Popernik Scholarship Fund” on the designation line.
