Maria's Legacy: Alicia's Scholarship is funded by Jason Blythe and aims to honor the legacy of Alicia Blythe's mother, Maria DeFauw, by supporting low-income, first-generation college students. The scholarship provides financial assistance to two winners, each receiving $500, to help them pursue their higher education goals. The scholarship is specifically targeted at high school seniors and undergraduate students attending Augustana College in Illinois, although high school seniors do not need to be planning to attend Augustana to apply. The mission is to empower students by alleviating some of the financial burdens associated with higher education, thereby enabling them to achieve their academic and career aspirations.
