Maggie Evans Memorial Scholarship

Offered to graduating seniors in years 2024, 2026, and 2028

Magnolia Mae Evans would have graduated with the class of 2024. Maggie will be remembered not because this scholarship exists to honor her memory, but because of how she chose to live her short life, for her accomplishments and for all the things she tried and the people she touched. It’s no secret that Maggie loved nature and the outdoors. Maggie was a creator and a connector. She tackled learning new things with energy and enthusiasm, and she was a true renaissance woman. She loved gathering information and was always collecting new skills — like macrame! She was strong — mentally, emotionally, and physically, even when her body didn’t cooperate. Maggie had style and substance. She was a good listener, focusing attentively on conversation partners and making everyone feel seen.  Maggie had a vision for her life, based on her own dreams. The vision board on her bedroom wall, developed when she was 13 years old, was so incredibly creative and with clarity of purpose. Things that she loved that you might expect from other teenagers — “spend time with friends, cross-country, music” — but also things she aspired to get better at — “volunteer more, try a new club, drink more water." Maggie was amazing. Maggie's words, from the throes of cancer, demonstrate how wise she was beyond her years: I see how strong I really am. It takes me a long time to be able to see the new beauty in this body, and some days I still can’t, but I can use my strength to help other children who are also going through this journey. So now I stand tall and put on my smile because I know I am stronger than anything their eyes could say, and I make sure my eyes always shine with kindness.
