Ella Katherine Harris Memorial Scholarship for Bakers
Ella Katherine Harris was a beloved daughter who passed away too soon due to adrenal carcinoma in October 2023.
Ella had a love for baking and wanted to open a bakery one day, but she never got a chance to live out that dream. Ella would have loved the idea of a scholarship to award money to someone who wanted to further their education in the baking field.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Ella Katherine Harris by supporting students who share her love for baking.
Any high school senior or current baking culinary student may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they demonstrate hard work and true passion.
