William E. and Betty L. McCormick Memorial Scholarship

William McCormick’s second wife, Judy who he married some time following the death of his first wife, Betty, created the William E. and Betty L. McCormick scholarship fund. Young people growing up in a single parent household face many challenges, including paying for a college education. Judy established this scholarship to assist deserving students who desire to pursue a college education, and who live with a single widowed or divorced parent. Judy’s reason for establishing the college scholarship fund in her husband and his first wife’s name was because both she and her husband came from divorced families and experienced the struggles a single parent goes through in trying to provide the best possible opportunities for continuing education for their children.

It has been Judy’s sincere hope that in some small way, the scholarship will make that opportunity easier for someone in a similar situation.
