Susan Kelly Memorial Scholarship
Susan Kelly was an incredible mother who sadly passed away in March of 2025 after leading an admirable life.
Susan was a single mom who worked two jobs in order to make ends meet. She worked in retail her entire life and barely made a living that could support her, let alone her family. With this lived experience, Susan believed strongly that education was a critical foundation for having a career that both pays the bills and allows one to explore their passions and find fulfillment.
This scholarship aims to honor the life of Susan Kelly by supporting students in their pursuit of higher education so they can earn a living wage.
