Paul Tejada Memorial Scholarship

The Paul Tejada Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Paul Tejada, former President of W.A. Foote Memorial Hospital. Paul was a first-generation college student that overcame many obstacles in his life, realizing that education created a foundation for his success. Recognizing that the local community provided so much for him; the scholarship aims to give back to the students of Jackson County.
