The Cole (Leone) Memorial Scholarship is given out each year by the Jacksonville State University Foundation. In honour of Mrs. Leone Pruett Cole, the Jacksonville Book Club established this scholarship. Former JSU president Dr. Houston Cole’s wife, Mrs. Cole, passed away in 1949. Those deserving full-time incoming freshmen will receive the award. The JSU Foundation develops opportunities that will provide additional assistance to the students, programmes, services, and academic community of Jacksonville State University through collaborative relationships with people, businesses, foundations, and other organisations.
The Foundation will use image improvement, efficient asset management, business ventures, and development initiatives to fulfil its objective. The JSU Foundation’s ultimate goal is to increase private gift support for Jacksonville State University while establishing the foundation for future fundraising success.
