The Great Smoky Mountains Association of Realtors in 1988 honored J.Pritchard Barnes, posthumously, by setting up a Memorial Scholarship Fund in his name.

Each year scholarships are awarded to an outstanding senior from each of Sevier County’s High Schools as well as Cocke County.

Scholarship applicants are judged on such criteria as grade point average, extracurricular participation, a letter of recommendation and an essay.
