THE LMG FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
Lula Mae Gay was a person with a genuine heart of servitude. She spent many years of her life dedicated to the needs and desires of others. Although she had very little, much was given through her love and service toward others.
The purpose of the LMG Foundation scholarship is to allow her family the means of continuing one aspect of her legacy by providing educational funding to aspiring and/or current college students.
Applicants who are awarded this scholarship will be provided with a $1000 scholarship to cover educational costs for two (2) consecutive semesters (beginning in the fall). Scholarships are not renewable and cannot be transferred. Applicants who are awarded the scholarships will be ineligible to apply the following cycle.
2022 Scholarship Recipients
"I am working towards my goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences and pursuing research experience in science labs where I will propose questions, ideas, and analyses. Ultimately, I hope to attend medical school, earn my M.D., and become a cardiothoracic surgeon after the appropriate residencies. My future responsibility in healthcare demands more than technical science, and I hope to impact the field of medicine through scientific breakthroughs and doctor-patient relationships alike."
Ashima J.

TESTIMONIALS
"I attend a private Christian school that I wouldn’t be able to attend without help from scholarships, so LMG helped to make my college experience possible. I also loved the mentorship aspect - that is so incredibly needed today (especially for college students) so I’m so grateful for Chiquta and the way that she poured into me all through my freshman year."
Kaylie B.
"I was able to connect with Ms. Harris and talk about navigating this first year of college, especially during COVID times. I think that I really enjoyed having Ms. Harris to touch base with!"
Lisa D.
"When I was notified that I was a recipient, I had to call my mom immediately to let her know that I had actually won. Despite the fact that she was in a public setting, she screamed "Hallelujah!" from the depths of her soul. It was a beautiful moment because receiving scholarships is no easy task and I am truly grateful that I was selected."
