The Ruth Howard Endowed Scholarship was established as a bequest upon her death. Mrs. Howard’s estate continues to grow her endowment to fund students at Temple College.

Impact

I’ve always wondered who the people are who give scholarships. I’ve wondered why they do it. But now that I’m getting a scholarship, I think I understand. They want you to do as well as they did, they want you to know that someone cares, and they want you to reach your potential. So, for me a scholarship isn’t free money. I have to live up to the expectations. I have to do my best in order to respect their gift. There’s actually a lot of responsibility that comes with receiving a scholarship.
