Marie Jean Baptiste Memorial Scholarship

The Marie Jean Baptiste Memorial Scholarship is dedicated to supporting African American high school seniors and undergraduates who have demonstrated commitment to their families and community through non-profit, volunteering, or community service activities. Named in honor of Marie Jean Baptiste, who was known for her dedication to her family and community despite not completing formal education, the scholarship aims to instill a deep appreciation for learning and community involvement in its recipients. The scholarship particularly encourages students of Haitian descent to apply, reflecting Marie's legacy and her nurturing spirit.
