James Henry Thomas Scholarship Foundation
James Henry Thomas, born and raised in Raeford, NC, had a passion for automotive body work and worked in that field for numerous years. As a devout Christian, Mr. Thomas could always be found serving and loving others.
Vernell Thomas is the spouse of Mr. Thomas and also has a passion for giving to others. Following the passing of her husband, Ms. Thomas had the desire to continue the legacy of service by giving to others and funded this unique scholarship. Passionate about child care, Ms. Thomas currently owns two child care centers and remains active in their church and community.
We look forward to receiving your application soon! Feel free to direct all inquires to us via email at jhtscholarship99@gmail.com including your contact information.
