Since its inception in 1996, the Foundation has assisted 52 students with more than $800,000 in scholarship funds, helping these students to realize the dream of a higher education after high school.
Two such students are Sara and Anna Jenkins. Sara is currently in her third
year at the University of New Mexico and Anna is a Freshmen at the University of New Mexico.
Their father, Allen, was a truck driver. Twenty-three days before her fourth birthday, Sara’s dad was killed when a Sara & Anna Jenkins driver fell asleep at the wheel, swerved off the road, and hit him. The Toby Wright Scholarship has helped Sara and her sister, Anna, pay for their school supplies, books, and tuitions. Sara and Anna no longer have to worry about getting loans during the school year, which allows them to focus on their classes.
