Allow Us to Present to You The Jonathan Sherman Spradling Memorial Scholarship
Jonathan, 23, was tragically, prematurely taken from us.
We, the late Johnathan William Spradling family and friends, have the opportunity to continue on the humanitarian efforts which John dedicated his life- scholarships, donor organ program, environmental issues, with emphasis on litter control, and homelessness. Annually the Memorial awards four $1,000 grants to New Mexico high school graduates enlisting in New Mexico institutions of higher learning.
Grantmaking Status
The Jonathan Sherman Spradling Memorial reached “grantmaking” status in September 2005 and the work began.
Of greatest significance, this status means that Jonathan’s memorial is now perpetual.
