The Reed-Leonard Memorial Scholarship Fund was established through the Southern University System Foundation to honor Birk and Ethel Reed, Joseph and Virginia Leonard, and the memory of Carrie Leonard Reed.
Created by Burke Reed and sons, this scholarship continues the family’s legacy of educational support by empowering students at Southern University—especially those pursuing degrees in Education. Through this fund, the Reed and Leonard families aim to help students meet their academic and financial needs, today and for years to come.
We thank you for your generosity in supporting this mission and investing in the next generation of Southern University scholars.
