Established 2024

The George and Doris King Memorial Scholarship was established to commemorate their commitment to students and educational excellence.

George and Doris were long-time members of the Liberty Benton community. Doris served two terms on Liberty Benton’s school board, and George spent over twenty years on the selection committee for Golden Apple, rewarding teaching excellence in Hancock County. They were also regular attendees at Liberty Benton basketball games for over 30 years. This scholarship will be awarded to a well-rounded student to help them pursue their next chapter of education.
