Lewis, had established at the College many years ago, and which her nephew, Samuel F. Lewis, now supports. The Lewis-Smith Scholarship Fund was established in the memory of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. William W. Lewis, and now includes the memory of her late brother and the Reverend J.L. Smith.

The College offers bachelor's degrees in 22 majors to traditional-aged students on the Rocky Mount campus.
