Scholarship History:

The Nicole Michelle Lee Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in January 2008 by her family soon after Nicole was involved in a fatal car accident.  This Fund provides scholarships and educational opportunities for individuals graduating from Col Zadok Magruder High School in Derwood, Maryland.

Nicole was an exceptional individual who excelled academically, participated in many extracurricular activities, served her church and community, and had a passion for living life to its fullest.  We hope to provide scholarships to students who embody some of Nicole’s impressive qualities, and who will use their skills to make a difference in the world.
