Youth Scholarship Program

Hubbard Alumni Association is proud to offer three scholarship awards to help Monroe County youths accomplish their goals.  Scholarships are based on academic ability.  A scholarship committee carefully reviews each application.

William Merida Hubbard Scholarship

Two scholarships honor the late William Merida Hubbard, founder of the State Teachers and Agricultural College/Hubbard Training School in 1902.  STAC was one of the state’s official schools for the instruction of black teachers between 1931 and 1938.  Originally named the Forsyth Normal and Industrial School, STAC was one of three black public colleges added to the University System of Georgia in 1932.  Teachers from rural county school systems came to STAC to earn their teaching certificates.  After closing in 1939, the school re-opened later that year as the Hubbard Training School, Monroe County’s first black high school.    

Students must begin using the award during the first year after it is awarded.

Fort Valley State University Scholarship

This scholarship honors the history the Fort Valley State University shares with the State Teachers and Agricultural College (STAC).  After STAC closed in 1939, the state transferred its financial support to the Fort Valley State University in nearby Peach County.  The William Hubbard Education Building remains on the Fort Valley State University campus in William Merida Hubbard’s honor.

Students must begin using the award during the first year after it is awarded.

Myrtice Bell Scholarship

This scholarship is given in honor of the late Myrtice Bell, an English teacher at the Hubbard Elementary School who was passionate and devoted to the students learning the subject.  She was a strict disciplinarian and taught the students well.  The scholarship is to be awarded to English majors.  Students must begin using the award during the first year after it is awarded.
