Mission
To encourage individuals to continue their educational goals no matter what challenges are going on in their lives and no matter what stage of life they are in.
Our scholarship program is designed to support passionate and driven individuals who are committed to making a difference. This is not an academic merit based or financial needs based scholarship — its primary goal is to award scholarships to nontraditional students who embody the commitment to education as the scholarship's namesake did.
