This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Glenda I. Tanner, who believed that everyone should have the chance to attend college.

Glenda was a lifelong learner with empathy for those who sought the same path. She was a voracious reader and often read multiple books at once.

She encouraged curiosity across all subjects and simply wanted people to have fun discovering new things.

This scholarship seeks to make college more affordable and accessible for aspiring students so they can fulfill their dreams in the fields they’re passionate about.
