Charlie and Mary Moon

The Moon Family Scholarship was established by Charlie and Mary Moon with a gift to the Forever Butler Campaign in 2015, during Mary’s 25th year as a Butler employee. Charlie and Mary both have hearts for helping others and believe strongly in the value of a college education. Earning a Master’s degree as a working single parent instilled an appreciation in Mary for the students she saw in Butler’s Adult Education program who often struggled to manage work, family, and education obligations. The Moons aspire to help reduce the financial hurdles that make it difficult for non-traditional students to earn degrees. The Moon Family Scholarship is intended for a part-time, working adult student who has one or more dependents other than a spouse, and for whom the cost of college is economically challenging. Preference will be given to a student who attended courses through Butler’s Adult Education program to prepare for college.
