Brittany McGlone Memorial Scholarship
Brittany McGlone was a beloved sister and 2006 graduate of Winnsboro Highschool in Winnsboro, Texas. Brittany was taken from this world too soon in 2007 through homicide.
Brittany’s murder remains unsolved but her memory lives on. In her life, Brittany wanted to attend nursing school and was working two jobs to come up with the funds she needed, but she was tragically killed before making it to college. Crime can cut students’ dreams short, whether by ending their lives altogether or by subjecting them to trauma that affects their ability to stay in school.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Brittany McGlone by supporting students who are in pursuit of higher education.
Any high school senior who is pursuing education or a career in art, music, or criminal justice may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Students who have been the victims of crimes are especially encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us why furthering your education is important to you, how art or music helps you in life, and (if applicable) how crime has affected you or your studies.
