Legacy Honored

The Not Too Late For Me Scholarship Fund honors the memory of Monica Gray Clark and Maxwell Dan Clark, two remarkable individuals whose lives were deeply rooted in their passion for music. This fund provides support to nontraditional students in Ohio University’s Chaddock + Morrow College of Fine Arts, empowering them to pursue their artistic aspirations.

Mission & ImpacT

Through this scholarship, we celebrate Monica and Maxwell’s enduring legacy of resilience, creativity, and hope. By helping to remove financial barriers, the fund ensures that deserving students have the opportunity to follow their dreams and share their talents, no matter the obstacles they face.

Call to Action

Established with a $25,000 planned estate gift, this scholarship is secured for the future. However, the gift will not be realized until the estate is transferred. To ensure that students benefit now, we are working to raise an additional $25,000, which will fully endow the fund and allow it to begin awarding scholarships immediately.
