Ricky Noles Memorial Scholarship
Ricky Noles was a beloved father who worked hard his whole life and was proud of his children, their values, and their accomplishments.
Ricky was also a firm believer in Christianity and held a position at his church. He graduated college with a degree in automotive mechanics.

This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Ricky Noles by supporting students who share the passions of him and his family.
Any high school senior in Alabama who is Christian and pursuing a degree in automotive mechanics, nursing, foresty or teaching may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
