In 1960, the Family and Consumer Sciences Education Division of the Association for Career and Technical Education (formerly AVA) began a fellowship fund to:
- Provide fellowships to graduate students who would become the future leaders in
the profession.
- Honor outstanding family and consumer sciences education professionals.
Family and consumer sciences education professionals are honored through $500 contributions to the graduate education fellowship fund. The first contributions were made to honor Beulah Coon, when she retired as Specialist in Studies and Research, Home Economics Education Branch, U.S. Office of Education.
