Karla Johnson Memorial Scholarship
Karla Johnson was an extraordinary woman who devoted her life to her family, philanthropy, and uplifting others.
Driven by a deep passion for giving back, Karla’s next philanthropic endeavor was to establish a scholarship at her high school alma mater. This initiative is designed to help students pursue junior college or trade school, empowering them to achieve their dream careers.
The Karla Johnson Memorial Scholarship honors her legacy by supporting graduating high school seniors as they take the next steps toward their goals. Any senior at Gladewater High School in Texas is eligible to apply, with preference given to students planning to attend a trade school or junior college.
