The Jerrye Chesnes Memorial Scholarship, funded by Chesnes, aims to support parents who are returning to school while raising children. This scholarship recognizes the unique challenges faced by older, less conventional students, particularly those who are single parents or have children. It provides financial assistance to help alleviate some of the burdens associated with balancing education and parenting responsibilities. The scholarship is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, encouraging them to share their personal experiences and challenges in their applications.
