The
Jenice Riley Memorial Scholarship
The Alabama Humanities Foundation
awards the Jenice Riley Memorial Scholarships
to Alabama teachers looking to further
their professional development through
this $1,000 award that helps them
attend a seminar or institute, purchase
classroom materials, or create a program
that enhances their students’ understanding of history and civics.
Recipients are chosen from a pool
of applicants based on their proposed
spending of the scholarship money
to improve their teaching abilities
and create a more effective classroom
environment. The recipients of this scholarship are honored each year at the AHF's annual Alabama Humanities Awards Luncheon.
The Jenice Riley Memorial Scholarship
was created in memory of the late
Jenice Riley, daughter of Alabama
governor Bob Riley and his wife Patsy,
for her extraordinary commitment to
enhancing the quality of education
in Alabama. Jenice Riley’s passion
for teaching kindergarten infused
her students with creativity and a
desire to learn. She inspired her
students, encouraged parents to get
involved in their children’s
education, and actively promoted better
educational programs and disciplines
within her community. AHF is honored
to present this scholarship each year
in her memory.
