Chandler/Turner Family Scholarship

A brainstorm of the elder Chandler siblings, James Chandler Jr., Teola Tillman and Eldora Gray, came the concept of the Chandler Turner scholarship fund. The scholarship honors the legacy of the Chandler parents, Ellen and James Chandler Senior who were strong visionaries with their children in encouraging higher education. Our greatest interest is students who wish to enter the field of education and health care.
