The Mary E. Alexander [Memorial] Scholarship Fund (MEASF) stands as a beacon of light, a testament to the enduring legacy of a remarkable woman whose love, wisdom, and generosity touched countless lives. Named in loving memory of our dear grandmother, Mary, this scholarship embodies her spirit of compassion, her commitment to education, and her unwavering belief in the power of helping others.

 

Mary was more than a grandmother; she was a guiding force, a source of strength, and a shining example of grace and resilience. Her life was defined by her dedication to her family, her community, and the pursuit of knowledge. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout her life, she never wavered in her belief that education was the key to unlocking a brighter future for all.

 

Through the MEASF, we honor her memory by providing deserving students with the opportunity to pursue their dreams of higher education. Each year, the fund awards scholarships to exceptional individuals who embody the values that were dear to Mary's heart – integrity, perseverance, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world.

 

But this scholarship is more than just financial assistance; it is a lifeline, a source of hope, and a tribute to a woman whose legacy continues to inspire us all. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of loss, love endures, and that through acts of kindness and generosity, we can keep the spirit of our loved ones alive for generations to come.

 

As recipients of the MEASF, students not only receive financial support for their education but also become part of a community bound together by a shared commitment to excellence and service. They carry forward Mary's legacy, embodying her values as they strive to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.

​

In honoring Mary with this scholarship fund, we celebrate her life, her legacy, and her enduring impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit lives on through the lives she touched and the futures she continues to shape. And through this scholarship, her light will continue to shine brightly, illuminating the path for generations of students to come.
