Dr. LeRoy T. and Sandra J. Davis Memorial Scholarship Fund

Founded by Dr. LeRoy T. Davis with preference given to students majoring in nursing.

Sandra Davis was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania and studied at Bethany College in Bethany, West Virginia. She continued her studies at the University of Maryland Nursing School. She moved to Frederick when she married LeRoy Davis, a man she met on a blind date. While her husband attended medical school, Mrs. Davis pursued her nursing career. When her husband started his medical practice, Mrs. Davis concentrated more on the home, raising their three children and community volunteer work. To honor the memory and legacy of his wife of 53 years, Dr. Davis turned to the Community Foundation to create The Sandra J. Davis Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Fund awards scholarships, with preference given to those majoring in nursing as Mrs. Davis had done.

Dr. Ulysses G. Bourne, Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund

Founded by daughter Dr. Blanche Bourne-Tyree for students majoring in medicine or a related field.

Dr. Ulysses G. Bourne graduated from Leonard Medical College in North Carolina. By 1903, he had established a private medical practice on All Saints Street in Frederick, Maryland. In 1919, Dr. Bourne and Dr. Brooks, another local doctor, opened a hospital to better care for the African American community until Frederick Memorial Hospital was able to help two years later. In addition to his active involvement with the medical community, Dr. Bourne was dedicated to civic causes. He was president of the Frederick area NAACP for 20 years and active with many other organizations. To further her father’s legacy, Dr. I. Blanche Bourne-Tyree started The Dr. Ulysses G. Bourne, Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund. Not only did Dr. Bourne-Tyree follow in her father’s footsteps, but also recipients of his scholarship aim to do so as well. Students who are awarded scholarships from The Dr. Ulysses G. Bourne, Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund must be Frederick County seniors planning to attend a four-year educational institution of their choice to study the sciences, with intentions of pursuing a career in healthcare. Preference is given to applicants who wish to become medical doctors, like Dr. Bourne, as well as those who seek careers in the allied health professions.
