Support the George Snow Scholarship Fund

What began as a memorial to one philanthropic and devoted man has become a community asset – an alliance of individuals, corporations, private foundations, and community service organizations who share the belief that education is the key to a better life for the young people we serve. Providing scholarship funds is easy. Dedicating ourselves to helping each student graduate from college, define their career path, and identify and reach their goals is the focus and challenge for our staff. Beyond receiving scholarships and financial aid, these students become a member of the George Snow Scholarship Fund Family. Everything we do is guided by the question, “what would be do for our own sons and daughers?”

Help us ensure that no student is deprived of an education because of a shortage of funds or lack of support. Donate today.

The Angel Ormston Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the life and legacy of Angel Ormston, a kind-hearted and vibrant 17-year-old whose life was tragically cut short in 1992. Angel’s immense potential and bright future were taken in a senseless act of violence, leaving a profound impact on her family, friends, and the community.

Her passing created a deep and lasting wound in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. In the years since, Angel’s family and friends have remained steadfast in their pursuit of justice, ensuring that her memory lives on and that her killer remains behind bars. This scholarship serves as a tribute to Angel’s legacy, providing support to young individuals who exemplify her spirit of kindness, resilience, and strength.

Angel’s story is one of perseverance, love, and an enduring commitment to justice. In her memory, the Angel Ormston Memorial Scholarship seeks to support students impacted by domestic violence and those pursuing careers dedicated to making a difference in criminal justice or law.

If you’ve ever been part of Leadership Boca, you now have the opportunity to make a lasting impact—one that will open doors to higher education for students in our community who may not otherwise have the chance.

This initiative ensures that future generations have access to the education they deserve, creating a legacy of opportunity and success.
