About The Major Larry J. Bauguess Jr. Scholarships
2009 was the first year that one female and one male student from Wilkes Central Senior High School was awarded $1,000 scholarships in honor of Major Larry J. Bauguess, Jr. Thus far, $6000 in scholarships have been awarded to graduating seniors.
These scholarships were created to encourage students to develop leadership skills that Larry embodied, as well as rewarding positive attitudes in our young people. Both of the 2009 recipients are extraordinary young people with incredible grade-point averages and strong leadership in extra-cirricular activities.
To qualify for the Major Larry J. Bauguess, Jr. Memorial Scholarships, deserving students must, above all, exhibit the core character traits which were embodied by Major Bauguess and that are encouraged in all of our students by the Wilkes County School System: Responsibility, Respect, Self-Discipline, Kindness, Good Judgment, Perseverance, Courage, and Integrity. An essay on a time in their life when they have relied on, or exhibited, one of the above traits is an important requirement for this scholarship.
These scholarships are part of the core mission of the Major Larry J Bauguess, Jr. Memorial Fund, and why we raise funds to establish a strong endowment that can provide this service to the youth of Wilkes County in perpetuity in memory of Major Bauguess.
