ST. GEORGE — Dixie State University is honoring the late Max Rose with a scholarship fund established in his name.
School officials say that just as Rose, who died in June at age 71, worked to lift students, the Max Rose Memorial Scholarship will help science students accomplish their educational dreams by relieving some of their financial pressures.
“This really does allow us to select students who would have been in Max’s classes and, in his tradition, empower them to find fulfillment in their careers and lives,” John Bowler, development officer at Dixie State, said in a statement.
Rose began his career teaching match and chemistry at Dixie State in 1972. Eventually, he became vice president of academic affairs at the school, a position that he held until he became superintendent of the Washington County School District in 2003.
