The George Harris Memorial Fund Scholarship honors the legacy of a man who believed deeply in the transformative power of education.
Coming from humble beginnings, George was passionate about creating opportunities for individuals facing adversity - particularly those from underserved communities. A mentor to many, he consistently prioritized people and encouraged others to dream big, work hard, and give back. His impact lives on through the lives he touched and the values he instilled.
