Molly C. McBride Memorial Scholarship established

The Morehead State University Foundation has announced the establishment of the Molly C. McBride Memorial Scholarship.

In 2013, the Molly C. McBride Memorial Scholarship Endowment was established to annually award a scholarship to a senior-level Morehead State University  student who is dependent on additional financial assistance in order to successfully complete his/her undergraduate degree requirements.

McBride, of Morehead, died at the age of 21 on May 18, 2013, after being involved in an automobile accident. She was born on December 17, 1991, in Jacksonville, Alabama, and was the daughter of Dr. M. Scott and Jill E. McBride of Morehead, both employees at Morehead State University.

As a Morehead State University student, McBride was a biomedical sciences major who dreamed of having a career as a physician's assistant. She was well known throughout the campus community as a dedicated student who strived to help others to succeed and to continue their education. Nowhere did she demonstrate her commitment to student success more than she did with her excellent work as a tutor in MSU's Tutoring and Learning Center.

In November of 2014, McBride’s service as a tutor was recognized with the establishment and dedication of the Molly C. McBride Tutoring Excellence Award. The Molly C. McBride Scholarship for Student Success honors her memory and her compassionate and persistent devotion to helping others.

Recipients of the scholarship shall be full-time student(s) with a minimum cumulative college grade-point-average of 3.0, who are classified as seniors and within one year of degree completion. Preference will be given to biomedical sciences majors, if not available, agricultural sciences can be considered.

Recipients should be identified as financially eligible by MSU’s Office of Enrollment Services. The recipient will be selected by a committee and is a one-time award (not renewable).

Students interested in applying should contact Enrollment Services at 606-783-2000.
