The Moore Family Scholarship
The Moore Family Scholarship is a $1,000.00 award aimed towards assisting a deserving high school senior beginning her higher education journey.
The Moore family moved to Maywood Illinois in the 1940's. Denard and Tennie raised seven children; Willie, Ruth, Denard Jr., Joseph, Mae, Earl, and Peggy. Their parents led by example. Hard work was the foundation; Denard worked in the steel mill and Tennie retired from American Can Company. With education a priority, all of the children graduated from Washington Elementary School and Proviso East High school. They became police officers, an airline pilot, office workers, an air traffic controller, factory workers, and a Maywood Trustee and Village Manager.
It is the Moore's family pleasure and honor to assist a single mother, who is a graduating senior at Proviso East desiring to attend a trade school, junior college, or four-year college.
