The Molly Gill Memorial Scholarship Fund The Molly Gill Memorial Scholarship is awarded to any area graduating high school senior who has excelled with a physical disability. This scholarship was established in memory of Molly Gill, who was a quadriplegic as the result of an accident. Molly faced her daily challenges with courage, and a determination to further her education and become independent. Molly Gill embraced the goodness of each day and her spirit is best summarized by the following quote: “I can always say, ‘what if?’ But, I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere with that."
