P.E.O. Chapter D is proud to announce Erin Cole as the recipient of our 2023 Jennie Gray Memorial Scholarship Award. Ms. Cole is attending WNC in pursuit of a nursing degree.
Jennie Gray was a beloved member of P.E.O., Chapter D, and the Fallon community for many years. Her wish was to have any funds donated in her memory be awarded to help local
women achieve their educational dream. Because of the generosity of Jennie’s family and many friends, this scholarship will not only help Erin but will continue to be awarded to women
attending WNC for years to come.
