Republican candidate for Chattooga County Commissioner Andy Allan has set up a scholarship fund in memory of the late Jeff Owings.  You can read a press release from the candidate concerning the scholarship fund below:

When I started this campaign, I was determined to self-finance it entirely. However, as the campaign gained momentum, I was humbled by the number of people who expressed their desire to contribute. While I initially declined these offers, I realized the importance of acknowledging their generosity and came up with a solution.

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Chattooga High School and Lisa Owings, I am proud to announce the establishment of the Jeff Owings Memorial Scholarship.
Lisa and I will award this scholarship for the first time on May 14th to honor Jeff’s memory.
I was deeply grateful for the opportunity to create this scholarship. Jeff Owings was a huge part of my life growing up and such a role model for me in high school and beyond. He was an inspiration to so many students. When I spoke to him about running for county commissioner, he was one of my biggest supporters, a testament to his belief in me and his dedication to our community.
This scholarship will keep Jeff’s legacy alive in the field he loved and taught.
If you would like, please consider donating to the scholarship fund at United Community Bank in honor of Jeff. Your donation will support the children he loved to teach!
Just tell the employees at any bank location that you are donating to the JEFF OWINGS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND, and they will be happy to assist you in making that transaction.
