The J. D. Butler and Alice Butler Scholarship Foundation was created in 1976 through the generosity of Alice W. Butler in memory of their children Evelyn Butler, Reba Butler, and J.D. Butler, Jr. It was Mrs. Butler’s expressed wish to assist students who graduated from Deerfield Beach High School and who do not have sufficient financial resources required to pay the cost and expenses of continuing their education. The Center for Scholarship Administration, Inc. (C.S.A.), an independent, non-profit scholarship administration service, is administering this Fund for Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Trustee.
