FREDERICK, MD – Feb. 6, 2023: The Friends of ALICE Scholarship Fund has been established with The Community Foundation of Frederick County and becomes one of its more than 770 component charitable funds.
John and Mary Ellen Menke created The Friends of ALICE Scholarship Fund to directly impact non-traditional learners pursuing a 4-year degree that face some financial hardship. The fund will support Frederick County residents in ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households. By providing a means to this underserved community, the Menkes hope to help students access a better life through education, and in turn strengthen community.
