The Mary Ware Scholarships are awarded annually to college students who are committed to making a positive change in their life despite their unstable childhood homes. Candidates must be residents of Georgia and live in unstable homes where they don’t have the financial resources for mentoring and academic support. Although many of these students have great academic potential, they don’t have the financial and emotional support to get them through the grade levels necessary to receive the Hope Scholarship. The Mary Ware Scholarships are made payable to the college or university that the recipient will be attending to cover the recipient’s tuition or other applicable expenses. Each year, the Mary Ware Scholarship committee will award as many individual students as possible that come from the prior year’s Mary Ware Endowment’s investment earnings.
