We are thrilled to share an exciting milestone for the Live Like Norah Foundation—one that reflects the heart of Yadkin County and the power of community and meaningful collaboration. We’ve partnered with the Shallow Ford Foundation to grow and sustain the Live Like Norah Memorial Scholarship, ensuring that Norah’s legacy of kindness, faith, and leadership continues to inspire! 

Each year, this scholarship awards $1,000 to a graduating senior from both Forbush High School and Starmount High School, renewable for up to four years. Recipients are chosen for their academic excellence, active involvement in school and faith communities, and commitment to living out qualities that reflect Norah’s life. Today, we’re proud of what this scholarship has accomplished, but we’re dreaming even bigger!​

After many prayerful discussions and reaching a very comfortable state, The Live Like Norah Board has elected to partner with the Shallow Ford Foundation in its ongoing efforts to make the LLN Scholarship active and available for generations to come.  We have streamlined the application process by using the on-line portal within Shallow Ford.  We are very excited about this partnership and hope to see many applications come through in 2026.
