2021 Winners of the Harris Funeral Home Memorial Scholarship
As Harris Funeral Home celebrates thirty years of providing personal and professional funeral service during a family’s time of need, we continue to salute and assist outstanding students as they maintain their highest standards of conduct and academics. It has been twenty-one years since Jeffery Harris decided that giving back to the community is as important as serving during a time of hurt and healing, thus the Harris Funeral Home Memorial Scholarship was established.
“Do what you can, where you are, with what you have” is the philosophy that has made the Harris Funeral Home Memorial Scholarship an annual event. This scholarship program strives to recognize high school seniors in area schools. It is based upon academic and scholastic achievement, work experience, community service and personal goals that are expressed in an essay response.
The Harris Funeral Home Memorial Scholarship is intended to help students reach their educational goals. Each recipient is awarded a scholarship in the amount of $500.00 and it can be applied toward any educational-related cost. Final selections were made by the Harris Funeral Home Scholarship Committee where Cornelia Johnson serves as scholarship coordinator. Other members of the committee are Teresa Smith of Dothan, AL and Harriet Billups of Auburn, AL. To date over $62,000 have been awarded to different area students.
This year’s five recipients of the scholarships are:


She feels to foster unity in our country we need to talk with each other, discuss different situations and pray to God for guidance. In her community she volunteered with Relief for Life and assisted with the Blood Drive. Michaela sees herself as someone who is energetic, tough and beautiful. Being very active in high school sports and majorette captain in the band caused her to develop that toughness for herself and others. Not being emotional in public and staying strong are qualities that she developed early. In school, she learned a very valuable lesson about studying and being prepared are so important even when you think you know it all. Becoming the first Black majorette and captain of the squad at Beulah High School was a personal achievement that made her extremely proud. Her philosophy in life is, “Things change, friends change and life doesn’t stop for anybody”. Being a quiet person is a quality her friends like most about her, being one who listens and hear how others feel is something that she feels is important in life. As a labor-delivery nurse, she knows that working hard with long hours, assisting patients in whatever they may need will require dedication and devotion on her part, but something that she is looking forward to.
