Marlene Manning Scholarship
Marlene Manning is a beloved mother born and raised in the Prince George’s County area of Maryland who is passionate about giving back to the next generation of students.
In today’s society, college costs are often overwhelming for students from low-income or middle-class families. Tuition is often the largest expense one has to worry about, but even students who have scholarships or aid for tuition may still be overwhelmed by the smaller but significant expenses of books, supplies, room amenities, and other miscellaneous fees.
This scholarship seeks to honor Marlene Manning by supporting students from her home state as they pursue higher education.
Any low-income high school senior or undergraduate student from Maryland may apply for this scholarship opportunity if their GPA is a minimum of 2.7, but applicants from the Prince George’s County area are preferred.
