ABOUT BILL AND SHIREEN KIRK
Bill and Shireen Kirk endowed the Kirk Scholars Program in 2019, working with the Asphalt Institute Foundation as program administrator. Bill was born and raised in Roanoke, VA, and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College. Upon graduation he worked for Shell, and later became President of Fuel Oil
and Equipment Company in 1988. Fuel Oil would later change its name to Associated Asphalt, where Bill served as President and Chief Executive Officer for over thirty years, overseeing its operations and expansion. Shireen Kirk was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Norfolk, VA. She graduated from the
College of William and Mary and George Mason University School of Law. Shireen went on to practice law at various firms and eventually transitioned to General Counsel for Associated Asphalt. Both Bill and Shireen have been involved with numerous boards and non-profits over the years.
The Kirk Scholars Program was created to assist need-based students with higher education costs. The Kirks are grateful for the wonderful professional and personal opportunities they have been afforded. This endowed scholarship fund enables them to assist and enrich the lives of the next generation of business
and community leaders.
