Linganore High School Student Awarded First Jacob W. Hubble Memorial Scholarship

August 7, 2009: Linganore High School graduate Allison Wiles has been awarded the first Jacob W. Hubble Memorial Scholarship held by The Community Foundation of Frederick County.

Allison was an active member of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), and received first place at the state FFA convention while at Linganore High School. She also works at Frederick Memorial Hospital, supporting patient care on a physical therapy unit. Allison plans to study nursing at Frederick Community College.

The Scholarship honors the memory of Jacob Hubble who had just started his senior year at Linganore High School at Oakdale on August 25, 2008 when he was tragically killed in a car accident on his way home from school. Seeking a meaningful way to remember their son, Sara and Barry Hubble created The Jacob W. Hubble Memorial Scholarship Fund to award scholarships in Jacob’s name to graduates of Linganore High School and Linganore High School at Oakdale who seek to achieve their dreams through education. 

The Hubbles said they are pleased that Allison has been awarded the scholarship. “She has been working very hard to become a nurse and has taken a lot of extra courses. In addition to her academic accomplishments, Allison has been working in the health care field and has shown the dedication needed to reach her goal,” they said.

Since 1986, individuals, families, businesses, and organizations have turned to the expertise of the Community Foundation to establish charitable funds that award scholarships to deserving students and grants to nonprofit organizations. To date more than $22 million has been awarded throughout Frederick County. For additional information about The Jacob W.
