John E. and Mary Lou Smith Scholarship Endowment Fund
John E. and Mary Lou Smith Scholarship provides financial support for Maricopa students who demonstrate financial need, the potential for academic success, and a history of community service.
John and Mary Lou Smith, longtime residents of Maricopa provided funds to establish a scholarship in their name. When the State of Arizona purchased the property that was Rotary Park, the Smiths donated a portion of the money from the sale to start the scholarship program. Both of the Smiths have been involved in the development of Maricopa for a number of decades. Mary Lou was a key figure in the development of the present library and supporter of the building of the new library. We all owe the Smith’s a big thank you for their continued support of our youth in the community.
