Founder's Message
Education has the power to transform lives, strengthen communities, and create pathways to opportunities. The Cornelius D. Jones Literacy Scholarship was founded with the belief that every deserving student should have access to higher education, regardless of financial circumstances.
As a lifelong advocate for literacy, education, and community service, I established this scholarship to recognize students who have demonstrated perseverance, academic excellence, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities.
It is my hope that this scholarship not only provides financial support but also inspires recipients to pursue their dreams, serve others, and become leaders in their chosen fields.
