Angela Green Memorial Scholarship Fund

In June 2019, Angela Green — a devoted mother from Prairie Village, Kansas — vanished without a trace. Her daughter Ellie was just 18, a freshman in college. What followed was a nightmare no child should endure: years of searching, national media attention (Dateline NBC, People Magazine, Huffington Post), unanswered questions, and eventually the heartbreaking presumption that Angela is deceased. Ellie’s story touched millions, but it also illuminated a painful truth: when a parent disappears or dies right as a young person is stepping into adulthood, the ground disappears beneath them. Financial support vanishes and emotional anchors are gone. College — once a clear path — suddenly feels impossible. This scholarship exists to make sure no student has to give up their dreams because they lost a parent at the worst possible moment.
