The UHS Alumni Scholarships are each funded by endowment funds held by the Greene County

Sydney Smith

Foundation (GCF). The funds were established in 2002 in honor of former Dugger educators and school administrators Bill Aydelotte, Edna Coyner and Clarence Stegemoller, who each were committed to supporting the future success of Dugger students. The GCF exists to be a vehicle for charitably-minded individuals to leave a lasting legacy to the community they love. The GCF holds over $8 million in assets and has had a charitable impact in every school, library, and community in Greene County.
