  • Greggory Tingle Memorial Scholarship

    The Greggory Tingle Memorial Scholarship is established to honor the legacy of Greggory Tingle, a beloved member of the Shelby County community whose life exemplified determination, joy and love for others. This scholarship is awarded annually to a student who embodies the qualities that defined Gregg’s exceptional character, commitment to his faith, and spirit of service to others. The Greggory Tingle Memorial Scholarship was formulated to honor the joy Gregg found in life during times of sickness and struggle. This scholarship will be awarded to a senior who exemplifies a passion for work beyond high school in a specific trade, is upstanding in their academics, and is a Christian model for those around them.  A dream of Gregg’s after receiving his stem cell transplant was to make a career out of woodworking. He understood that when God gave you a specific talent, it was meant to be used for His glory.
