Mary Jennings Memorial Scholarship

Additional Information

The Mary Jennings Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Mary Jennings, a senior soccer player and a secondary education/history major, who passed away at the age of 21 in spring 2006. Mary was a beloved friend and teammate and she brought her enthusiasm for life and learning to everything she did. She was working to become a high school history teacher and, in her work with youngsters, it was obvious that she was going to bring love, knowledge, and laughter to thousands.

The scholarship is awarded each year to a student who embodies the spirit of life and learning that Mary exhibited. The recipient must be enrolled full-time in the Department of Educational Studies; participate in sports; demonstrate financial need; and demonstrate academic merit.
