The Martha Caudill Stacy Scholarship is a $1500 annual academic award established in 1997 in memory of Martha Caudill Stacy.  Mrs. Stacy was a lifelong champion of education who continually stressed the importance of a strong academic background in obtaining professional success and personal gratification.  In addition to a cumulative GPA between 2.5 and 3.6, other criteria for selection emphasize character, leadership, work ethic, academic potential and financial need. This scholarship is intended to be awarded to those students who are not eligible for other types of financial assistance and whom have faced some type of challenge or hardship that may have affected their grade point average in pursuit of their high school diploma.
