The Paul Monroe Leadership & Academic Scholarship

The Paul Monroe Leadership & Academic Scholarship was established to honor the memory of a hero and World War II Veteran. Paul was a son, brother, mentor, father, trustee, and soldier who was drafted in the United States Army during 1942 – 1945 who reached many personal accomplishments. Paul left a great impact on the lives of many he crossed paths throughout his life, everywhere he went, and especially in his church and community.  

Paul Monroe (Veteran) often told people he came in contact with serving as a member in the U.S. Military is one of the greatest sacrifices that an American can make. Not only are soldiers placed in dangerous circumstances, but they also must make a gigantic sacrifice in regard to their families.

The military life affects not only the service member, but also the husband or wife, and children that belong to the service member. They must also make sacrifices by not having a loved one around for substantial periods of time. As a result, the U.S. government has always attempted to help reward service member families with financial benefits in order to compensate them for their sacrifice.
