| HISTORY OF THE SCHOLARSHIP |
Audra Nicole Oliver, a resident of Fayette County who struggled with the Sickle
Cell Anemia Disease from childhood, worked for the Fayette County School
System until the critical nature of the disease forced her to quit her job. Audra
was well loved by many members of the Fayette Community and Metropolitan
Atlanta. Many prayed for her during the difficulties and complications of her
illness. On February 3, 2002, Audra Nicole transitioned from this life.
Many people who loved Audra and her family wanted to do something to
memorialize her life because of the positive loving role model she was for
others.The Association of Village PRIDE asked the Oliver Family for
permission to start a scholarship fund in Audra's memory. Once permission
was granted the organization went about soliciting donations to begin the
Scholarship Fund.
Although not an endowed scholarship at this point, the goal is to have this
scholarship endowed so that every year scholarships can be awarded to
worthy seniors from Fayette County.
