The Dr. Joyce Ann Carter Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to address the need for financial support for non-traditional students who are attempting to follow their dream of attending college. Many of these students are single parents who work low wage jobs and have very limited financial resources at their disposal. Unlike new high school graduates, non-traditional students have few scholarship opportunities to support the costs of a college education. The scholarship offers financial assistance to students’ ages 25-45 years of age that were interrupted due to financial or personal struggle. The scholarship fund is a legacy held at MPACF in hopes that it will continue to grow and provide opportunities to these students.
Dr. Carter died of cancer in 2004. During her 20 years as Director of Academic Assistance at Central Michigan University, her chief concern was always for those students who had personal problems that hampered their chances of success. She was especially enthusiastic about helping non-traditional students returning to school.
