Jennifer Elizabeth Tarnow (J.E.T.) Memorial Scholarship – Single scholarship of $150.00.
Jennifer Tarnow was a student at Alamogordo High School. She had Cystic Fibrosis. She didn’t let her aliment keep her from excelling in school or from participating in activities such as orchestra and Future Homemakers Association. She participated in the community with Habitat for Humanity and Teens Leading the Community. Jennifer had set two goals herself. First, to graduate from Alamogordo High Scholl and second, to attend college. Jennifer almost made it to graduation; she died in the spring of her senior year of high school. Dorothy Engle, Jennifer’s mother, was able to make one of Jennifer’s goals come true. Dorothy was allowed to attend graduation, walk the line with the graduating class of 2000, and receive Jennifer’s high school diploma. The family created this scholarship so other Alamogordo High School students would have a chance to fulfill their dreams of higher education.
