Dreams for Hope and a Future
Ruby Carpenter grew up in Webster County, Mississippi, with the dream of becoming a teacher. With the help of her family and through her own determination, she achieved that dream with a degree from Delta State University. The Marie Maxey Foundation wants to help other future teachers achieve their dream by providing two $500 scholarships during 2021.
Two $500 scholarships will be awarded during 2021 by the Marie Maxey Foundation to honor Ruby Carpenter Jones for 41 years of teaching in the Mississippi Delta. These scholarships will be open to any youth that has been accepted or is attending Delta State University and majoring in education.
The scholarship application will consist of proof of enrollment or attendance along with a 500-word or less essay on the impact the Lord has had in your life and what vision God has given you for the future. All things being equal, preference will be given to members of Delta Kappa Gamma, an international education organization.
For more information or to apply, please contact Michael Maxey at michael@maxeys.org.
