Dr. Feltham was inducted into the American Accounting Association Accounting Hall of Fame in 2004 and was awarded the Lifetime Contribution to Management Accounting Award from the American Accounting Association in 2005. The scholarships are made on the recommendation of the Robert H. Lee Graduate School, in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
