Mark Green Memorial Scholarship
The Mark Green Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the life, legacy, and values of Mark Anthony Green, a United States Air Force and Persian Gulf War veteran, who exemplified resilience, determination, and a commitment to education. This scholarship is dedicated to providing higher education opportunities to underprivileged and underserved students, empowering them to pursue their dreams and build brighter futures.
Mark Anthony Green overcame an underprivileged background through unwavering perseverance and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of education. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where he served with distinction for nearly a decade. During his military tenure, Mark maximized the educational benefits available to him, earning an Associate of Airway Science and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology. Upon his honorable discharge, his dedication to learning continued, culminating in a Master of Science in Human Resources Training and Development.
Mark's passion for education and his journey of overcoming adversity inspired his wife, LaTonya Green, to create this scholarship in his memory. LaTonya herself faced significant challenges on her path to becoming the first in her immediate family to earn a college degree. She experienced firsthand how higher education can be a life-changing opportunity, transforming not only her own life but also the trajectory of her family.
The Mark Green Memorial Scholarship reflects LaTonya's commitment to extending the opportunities she and her husband cherished to those who might otherwise face financial barriers to higher education. This scholarship aims to foster success, build generational legacies, and honor Mark's remarkable life and enduring belief in the power of education to uplift and transform lives.
Any underprivileged or underrepresented high school junior, high school, senior, or undergraduate student who is a U.S. citizen with at least a 3.2 GPA and non-profit or volunteering experience may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
