The Mandy Coats Memorial Scholarship was established in 2004 and first awarded in 2005 to memorialize Nancy Amanda Coats. Born on November 14, 1977, in Pine Bluff, she was the daughter of Jimmy and Sandy Coats. After graduation from White Hall High School in 1996, Mandy attended the University of Arkansas at Monticello until her diagnosis with Batten’s Disease. At the age of 26, Mandy joined her Lord on May 23, 2004. She was an active mem-ber of First Baptist Church in White Hall.

Mandy’s life was a constant testimony. She was a friend to all because she accepted everyone around her without bias or prejudice. Her selfless display of love and energy, even when she had little energy herself, taught the true meaning of compassion. This pronounced concern for the well-being of others, in spite of failing health, defined Man-dy. She shared her love for Jesus routinely and unashamedly – how much she adored Him, how much He loved her, and toward the end of her life how ready she was to see Him. This scholarship was established to enable Mandy’s spirit to live beyond her lifetime. Her greatest desire upon entering college was to grow intellectually so that she could help those around her. This scholarship will allow deserving students to achieve the opportunities that Mandy cherished but was never able to enjoy.

The Scholarship Committee will review all applications with a tremendous amount of thought and prayer.Additionally, the Board may require an interview as part of the final selection process. Offering the opportunity to pursue higher education to ultimately change the lives of others keeps Mandy’s memory alive.

All applicants for a scholarship must meet the following requirements:

•Must be an Arkansas high school senior who is applying for a college scholarship for the freshman year;

•Must be an active member of a church and/or other Christian organization;

•Must plan to attend an accredited college or university on a full-time basis;

•Must be of high moral character, exhibit a strong work ethic, and be intellectually qualified for the desired pursuit;

•Must have and maintain a grade point average of 2.0 or better (scholarship awards will be forfeited if the student’s GPA falls below 2.0);

•Must be willing to accept a scholarship as a gift from God and be willing to later help others as a result.

PROCEDURE:1. Print three pages (this page, the application form, and the reference form).

2. Complete and sign the application form and return by APRIL 1 to the address shown. Also on aseparate sheet, please answer the following questions:

a. Why are you applying for this scholarship?b. How do your educational desires fit into your life’s plan?c. List any honors, achievements, and/or awards from your church, school, or community.d. Describe your work experience if applicable.e. Describe the happiest moment of your life.f. Describe your most difficult life experience. How did you endure or overcome it?g. Feel free to share any other information that would be helpful to the Scholarship Committeein understanding your situation.

3. Send TWO copies of the reference form to individuals who are not related to you. One of these individuals should be a minister at your church or sponsor of your Christian organization. The other reference can be a friend, employer, or neighbor who would know your character or work ethic. Ask them to complete and mail directly to the address shown.

For the third consecutive year the Arkansas Activities Associa-tion partnered with the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance and its “Spirit of Giving” campaign during the state football cham-pionships at Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium and almost 6,000 pounds of food was donated to the organization.

Texarkana, which played in the Class 6A state championship game, won the “Spirit of Giving” championship with 1,080 pounds. Stallion Transportation Group of Beebe will present the Texarkana athletic department with a $1,500 check.

The “Spirit of Giving” is an annual food drive that benefits anti-hunger organizations throughout Arkansas through the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance. The US Department of Agri-culture ranks Arkansas as having the third highest incidence of hunger in the nation, which affects 500,000 Arkansans.

Texarkana is a third high school to win this award. The 2008 winner was Des Arc, which raised over 3,200 pounds of food, and the 2009 winner was Lonoke, which raised almost 5,500 pounds of food.
