Horace N. Glover Sr. Scholarship
Supporting Students and Families During Significant Educational Milestones
A cancer diagnosis impacts the entire household. When a parent undergoes active cancer treatment, the resulting financial and emotional strain often makes it challenging for families to celebrate significant life milestones.
Established in honor of Horace N. Glover Sr., this scholarship aims to alleviate the financial barriers associated with high school graduation. It provides financial assistance for mandatory graduation fees, cap and gown expenses, and other essential costs for high school seniors whose parents are currently receiving cancer treatment.
With the support of community partners and donors, the scholarship extends beyond graduation fees. Subject to availability and contributions, students may also receive community-sponsored gifts, including:
- Prom and graduation photography
- Formalwear and limousine rides
- Fresh haircuts and grooming services
By easing these financial burdens, we aim to give parents peace of mind and help students participate in graduation milestones with confidence and pride.
