Nichole Frye Scholarship of Honor
Education was important to Nichole. After graduating from Lena High School in 2002, she joined the Army as a way to raise money for everything she wanted out of life… an education, home, and family. Nichole at 19 was engaged to be married when she left for Iraq, where her mission was to help rebuild the war-torn country. Her last mission was to help the children of Iraq, by delivering food, water and books. She planned to return home and go to college and become a firefighter or a police officer.
Eligible for Lena High School seniors only
