Myra C. Stiles Scholarship Award
The Myra C. Stiles Scholarship Award was created to honor the legacy of a longtime member of the DWSC, Ms. Myra C. Stiles. She was the DWSC Treasurer for over 20 years, which distinguished her as the longest serving officer in DWSC history. If you would like to continue Myra’s legacy, please make a contribution to The Myra C. Stiles Scholarship Award in her honor. Please click here to donate.
*************************************************
In April, the DWSC was pleased to announce four recipients of the 2023 Myra C. Stiles Scholarship Award. They are:
Rebekah Butler, Taylor Henderson, Kylie Jackson and MacKenzie Thompson.
Each high school senior received an unrestricted $500 award and a basket filled with college supplies. They were also recognized at a "meet and greet" in their honor on the campus of The University of Memphis, spearheaded by our former Scholarship Committee Chair, Ms. Lynnette Hall-Lewis, Esq.
