William Lacy Phillips Scholarship Fund

I want to honor the memory of my father by creating a scholarship. My dad always promoted education along with the importance of being academically inclined. He had a deep love for helping people excel in life. He had a strong work ethic, showing through his life how it looks to excel. He was a hard worker who was filled with a lot of wit. He showed us it's ok to laugh out loud and laugh at ourselves. He taught me to smile when it hurts. He was always smiling. He had a contagious laugh; there would be times I would hear him laughing and I honestly did not know what he was laughing at, but I would start laughing too.
