The family of George Jones has established a scholarship fund in his honor at Middle Tennessee State University. Nancy Jones made the announcement at the unveiling of the George Jones Monument at Woodlawn Roesch-Patton Funeral Home and Memorial Park Monday (11/18), and will make the first financial contribution. MTSU Recording Industry Department Chair Beverly Keelwill oversee donations. “MTSU is a very appropriate place to honor George Jones because of its nationally known recording industry program,” says MTSU President Sidney A. McPhee. “We have educated many of the leaders of the country music industry and we are dedicated to teaching students about the important contributions of country music.” Donations can be made here.
