Michael J Elliott Mechanical Engineering Scholarship Fund – The scholarship has been set up to celebrate the life of Michael J Elliott and his hope for the future. Michael was an auto mechanic and enjoyed building and repairing vintage cars and trucks. He was adept at forging new parts to place old ones. He would find new ways to make things work better. At one time he hoped to earn a degree in mechanical engineering, but finances at the time prevented it from happening.
Michael moved to Alamogordo in 1956. He attended elementary school, junior high and high school here. He graduated from high school in 1959. He was unable to finish college due to the Vietnam War. He joined the Navy in 1970. He served in the Navy for 20 years.
Life continued and new dreams took the place of old ones. Now we would like to see this scholarship help young students achieve their own dreams. Anyone who wishes to donate to this scholarship may do so by donating to Grace UMC Endowment and allocating the funds to the Michael J Elliott Mechanical Engineering Scholarship Fund. Thank you for helping to make dreams come true. The 2023 application must be submitted on or before March 30, 2023 by 4:00 PM.
