Legacy History

In 1986, Abell-Hanger Foundation established a Midland College scholarship that paid tuition for Midland County high school graduates.

In 2003, Helen Greathouse Charitable Trust partnered with Abell-Hanger Foundation, and the scholarship was named Midland's Legacy Scholarship.

In 2006, a third Midland family foundation, Chaparral Foundation, joined this rich tradition of supporting MC students in their pursuit of higher education. That tradition continued to grow when Scharbauer Foundation united with the other three family foundations to support this great educational legacy.
