Avery Melling Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Avery Melling Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor the life of Avery Melling, a 17 year old Junior at Manhattan High School who tragically passed away in a motor vehicle accident. Avery was loved by many who remember her vibrant personality, sense of humor, generosity, love for cheerleading, and passion for welding. Through the establishment of two scholarships, we wish to honor Avery's life and dreams by helping a student from her class (class of 2026) at Manhattan High School pursue higher education after the completion of high school, in addition to supporting a female welding student in Montana. We recognize that Avery and her bright legacy should not be forgotten.
