Since 1986, when Miriam Maddox’s
colleagues, former students, and their
parents established a scholarship in her
name, Maddox’s daughter, Audrey Jennings,
has had the joy of meeting the student-
recipients and passing on her mother’s
legacy. She has kept the letters of gratitude
they’ve written and relishes the details of
their future plans: education, broadcasting,
ministry, theatre, and more. “Several have
said they are preparing to do ‘whatever
God wants me to do,’” Jennings said, “and I
like that.”
Nearly 30 students have received this
award, and several have had a personal
connection, such as a parent who was
one of Maddox’s students. One student
told Jennings, “My dad knew your mom,
and he loved her.” While this award helps
students afford Cedarville, it’s clear that the
relationships it has created are far more
