The Austin Family Scholarship Endowment
The Austin Family Scholarship Endowment was established by Leah Meyer Austin in partnership with the American Indian College Fund to celebrate the lives of her husband, Sam Marion Austin, and his sisters, Wauhillau Austin Gale and Malacha Austin Gaddy. This Program commemorates the three siblings' Choctaw heritage, their love of the state of Oklahoma, and the value they and their families placed on obtaining college degrees.
