2026 Scholarships



Donations are needed to support scholarships for youth from underserved communities. Our goal for 2026 is to provide $14,000 (14 $1,000 scholarships) to high school seniors in order for them to further their education at a two or four-year college, technical program, or apprenticeship. The Marie Maxey Foundation is an IRS certified 501c3 charitable organization (EIN -83-1473076). Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

We are focusing our scholarships on Grenada, Mississippi and Fairfax, Virginia. We will also continue funding ongoing activities to help a school feeding program in El Salvador.  These scholarships will honor the memory of Dulce Deinken, Chris Goughnour, William Carpenter Sr., David & Elena Bathrick, Bastiaan Schouten, Dilian Deal, John Duke Lippincott, Ruby Jones, Nancy Maxey Lippincott, Bo Hunter, Buddy Thompson, Ambassador Larry Palmer, Sylvia Ayers, and Jack Maxey.
