Several schools are named after Harding: Harding University in Searcy, AR, Harding Academy (Searcy, Arkansas), Harding Academy (Memphis), and Harding University Graduate School of Religion in Memphis.

Harding helped David Lipscomb, another leader within the Churches of Christ, begin what is now known as Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Harding was the first president of this school, serving from 1891-1901.
