Judy Butler Science Scholarships

Judy Butler was an award winning educator, naturalist, artist, and journal writer. She served in leadership roles at Williamson County Schools and as president of Dragonfly Enterprises. She raised millions of dollars in grant funding for science education especially for students who are not traditionally found in these careers. In the last weeks of her life as she faced ovarian cancer she helped to organize two college scholarship funds as her legacy. Please send your tax-deductible scholarship contributions to honor and continue Judy’s passionate dedication to education for all students. 100% of your donation goes directly into the scholarship funds for these future scientists.
