HUNTSVILLE — The family of a Huntsville woman and her son who were killed in a car accident last fall have announced the formation of a scholarship fund in their name.
The Noel Monique Shorten and Jason Tyrell Stewart II Memorial Scholarship Fund was announced in a press release from the Shorten family Friday. The fund is now seeking both applicants and donors.
Shorten and Stewart were killed Sept. 20, 2009, in a three vehicle accident in Houston.
“It was through this tragedy that Noel and little Jason’s family and friends found strength and courage to preserve their legacy by creating a memorial scholarship fund,” the press release said.
The fund will be geared toward high school students who, like Shorten, seek to pursue a career in the culinary arts, “or to pursue their chosen field at the college level in memory of Noel and Jason.”
The duty of its recipients is to create a long legacy of scholars who will follow (Shorten’s) example and achieve the goals and dreams that Noel was not given the opportunity to attain.
The scholarship is open to all eligible high school seniors attending Huntsville High School. Applications may be found at the HHS Career Center.
Contributions to the fund may be made to: NMS & J2 Memorial Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 6886, Huntsville, TX, 77342.
