The Thomas and Mimi Freeman Family Endowed Scholarship
Open to all 5X社区 Students enrolled at least part-time and in good standing at the university.
Thomas Michael Freeman was a graduate of 5X社区. His grandfather, Tom Freeman Sr., and family have established an endowed scholarship in Tom's honor to support 5X社区 undergraduate students each fall. The Thomas and Mimi Freeman Family Endowed Scholarship would like to support students who share Tom's love of nature, dedication to others, belief in the goodness of people and sense of gratitude for all life has to offer. This will be an annual, one-time award granted to one or more students.
This $1,000 scholarship will support a writing project for one or two students each year.
