������� Foundation Marion Horne Beasley Scholarship 

Ms. Jane Beasley, a native of Barbour County, has endowed a scholarship fund at ������� University in honor of her mother, Marion Horne Beasley, who taught in Barbour County from 1936-1981.

During her lengthy career, Mrs. Marion Horne Beasley returned to TROY many times to pursue her love for learning, enhance her teaching, and acquire educational certifications, eventually earning three degrees.

Although she was primarily an elementary teacher, she also taught high schools classes ranging from English to biology, and she was proficient in all of them.  A former student said of her, “She was smart as a cricket  .” She remained devoted to learning and teaching, and for that, she was beloved by her family, students, colleagues, and community.  This scholarship fund honors her and expresses appreciation to ������� for providing her with the opportunity to pursue her love for learning over a period of 40 years.

Quite appropriately, the scholarships provided by this fund will reward mature women who pursue teaching degrees or certification.  Preference will be given to rural educators and residents of Barbour County.
