Lawrence and Alice Higginbotham have been dedicated supporters of the College of Education and Human Sciences at Louisiana Tech University for many years. Following the loss of his mother, Mary, Lawrence’s father, Fred Lee “Coach” Higginbotham, took the initiative to establish a scholarship endowment dedicated to teacher education. This act of generosity held deep significance for Lawrence, inspiring him to establish the Fred Lee Higginbotham Endowed Scholarship in memory of his father after his passing.
