Liz McCall Oxford Life Scholarship

As a life-long Oxford resident, a student deeply involved in the life of Oxford High School as student body President and head cheerleader, a graduate of Oxford High School, and a mom who sent her children and grandchildren there, Liz McCall was all about life in Oxford.  This scholarship is offered by Liz McCall's family to honor her memory by helping those who have also centered their lives around Oxford High School and its community, and whose life has been shaped by being a part of that great tradition.

As a candidate for this scholarship, the student must be in compliance with the following guidelines, and submit a complete application packet by March 15 to Ms. Knight.  Incomplete packets will not be considered.  The scholarship will be no less than $500 and will be paid directly to the recipient for his/her personal needs toward college.  The selection of the winner/decision of the judges is final.
