Welcome
The R. Wayne “Bubba” Alexander Memorial Scholarship was first established in 1989 to honor a greatly loved and respected son, brother, and friend. Until his untimely death at the age of 16 and a junior in high school from spinal meningitis, Bubba lived life that truly inspired all who knew him. Son of Wayne and Barbara Alexander, and brother to Amy Alexander Carter, he cared deeply for others and always sought to put a smile on everyone’s face. Bubba’s love for life and people was contagious, and his greatest pleasure came from giving to others.
One of the ways that Bubba’s legacy continues is through providing deserving students with recognition and financial assistance for college. Students are selected based on financial need, as well as their ability and desire to achieve academic success despite adversities. They must attend a high school in Lowndes County—the community that Bubba loved so dearly.
Through making a donation to his memorial scholarship fund, you, too, can honor or memorialize a loved one, while also providing a worthy student the opportunity to pursue his or her education. It is through the donations of people like you that Bubba’s spirit of generosity will live on. In addition, this is a wonderful opportunity to truly make a difference in the life of another. If you choose to donate on behalf of someone else, a card of recognition will be sent to the family or individual that you choose to honor, informing them of your contribution.
So far, the scholarship has been awarded for 22 consecutive years. You will find the recipients listed under the "Recipients" section of this website. We hope to continue providing students with this gift and appreciate your consideration in donating.
