For many years children of A. P. Green Fire Brick Company employees graduating from high school received scholarships from the company to help them further their education. Recognizing the contribution of the A. P. Green Fire Brick Company and its employees to the community, and the contributions of the community to the success of the company, the Green Foundation established the Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation Scholarship to assist the most deserving and qualified students graduating from Mexico High School in obtaining their college educations.
Each year the Foundation offers a $5,000 scholarship, renewable for three years, to a graduating senior of Mexico High School. Application forms are available on September 15 at the High School, and the completed forms are due January 15. The award is announced about March 15.
