Baxter Benjamin McGee Memorial Scholarship

$2,600
Open
Apply in
MyIvy

Baxter Benjamin McGee (1949-2013) was a lifelong resident of Madison and Jefferson County Indiana.  He was a 1967 graduate of Madison Consolidated High School. After High School, Baxter enlisted in the United States Army and was a Communications Expert, serving two tours of duty during the Vietnam War. Baxter enjoyed a career of working on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. He held the position of Towboat Captain and retired after a 30-year career.


Among Baxter's passions were concern for the environment and nature, support of the Salvation Army, and an insightful realization that education results in workforce certifications (such as a Towboat Pilot's License). He believed that certificates and degrees are a must for our current and future generations to become productive members of society. As such, this Memorial Scholarship Endowment is dedicated to his memory.
