The Cleo T. Hudson, Jr. Memorial Foundation Scholarship

Application Deadline - February 13, 2023
Mr. Cleo T. Hudson, Jr. graduated from Whitehaven High School in May 2001. He was a faithful member of Brown Missionary Baptist Church. Cleo married his high school sweetheart, Rekeshia S. Hudson and to their union they added two precious daughters, Chance Imani and Rylee Grace.

Cleo was raised by his father and stepmother as a result of his mother passing away when he was nine years old. While attending Whitehaven High School, he was enrolled in diesel mechanic courses.
