Description

The Dwain and Polly Wright Educational Scholarship Fund was established by the family of John Dwain Wright and Lillian Pauline (Polly) Wright in memory of their faithful support of Macon Public Schools and their belief in the limitless ability of Macon High School students. The scholarship was established to provide support to graduating high school students pursuing a post-secondary education. Applicants must have completed at least two English, Language Arts or Vocational classes. Applicants must submit recommendations from at least three current Macon High School faculty or staff members on the basis of citizenship, courtesy to others, and active support for their school. Preference will be given to students pursuing vocational or technical training or a degree in English or Language Arts. Two students will be awarded; one for the Dwain Wright Scholarship for vocational students going to college or trade school, and one for the Polly Wright Scholarship for college-bound students majoring in English. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for more information.
