Awards will vary in size based on the number of youth that the program anticipates it will serve. Any funding awarded must be used to fund programming that will be completed before the end of August 2026. The City may award full funding, partial funding or no funding.

Douglas C. Iles Memorial Scholarship
The Douglas C. Iles Memorial Scholarship has been established by his wife, Sandy, and his children, Ryan, Jeffrey, and Kristen, with the hope of honoring Doug’s incredible legacy. Doug was a lifelong Saginaw resident and loved giving back to his community. Doug touched countless lives and his influence has reached not only those in Saginaw and the state of Michigan but many throughout the United States as well.
Doug carried that same passion with him as he sought to foster and mentor the next generation of financial service professionals. He was actively involved as an adjunct professor at his alma mater, Central Michigan University, where he was also the chair of the Personal Financial Planning Program. Doug strongly valued education and was passionate about helping students achieve their educational goals. He was proud of his students and always showed up excited to pass on his knowledge and experience to scores of Chippewas at Central Michigan University (CMU). In honor of Doug’s love for helping others, both at CMU and the community at large, this scholarship has been developed to help foster the next generation of business students at CMU.
Doug’s sudden and unexpected passing left a permanent void in the lives of those that he touched. It is the hope of his family that this memorial scholarship will help others to remember Doug’s zest for life and his innate ability to find the perfect way to quietly help others with his time, talents, and treasures. In this small way, Doug’s legacy will live on in the lives of students that share his passion for business as they further their education at CMU.

Cosmetology Scholarship
At a very early age in Alabama, Lee Essie Smith was a self-taught musician. After losing her mother as a young teenager, she began putting her God-given musical talent to work as a pianist for several churches. By the time she graduated from high school, she had learned the cosmetology trade and met Charlie McMillan, Jr.
After his wife’s death, Mr. McMillan continued his community service with the Democratic Party, Habitat for Humanity and Mt. Olive Baptist Church as an usher. Although he did not serve very long in the military, Mr. McMillan continues to exemplify the values and physical energy of the “Army Strong” slogan. He is the patriarch of the family – always dapper – and a regular attendee at church services.
