Jean Ray Scholarship Fund
Congratulations to Our 2026 Scholarship Recipients
We are proud to announce the 2026 Jean Ray Scholarship recipients: Kelsey Madden, Luke Smith, and Lincoln Brohanon.
Each student was selected for embodying the values that defined Jean’s life: compassion, resilience, kindness, and a deep commitment to their community.
Through their words and actions, they reflected the heart of our mission: honoring Jean’s legacy by supporting students who uplift others, persevere through challenges, and make a meaningful impact on those around them.
This year, we are especially excited to increase the Jean Ray Scholarship award from $750 to $1,000 for each recipient, allowing us to further support these students as they begin their next chapter.
New in 2025: Increased Award Amounts
We’re excited to share that starting in 2025, each Jean Ray Scholarship recipient will receive $750 to support their educational journey. This increase reflects our ongoing commitment to honoring Jean’s legacy and making a meaningful impact in the lives of local students. Thank you to our supporters—your generosity helps us continue to grow this fund and its reach.
