Ruby Haggard created the J. Alex & Ruby Henson Haggard Scholarship in memory of her husband Alex, who died in 2002. Scholarships will be awarded to graduates of West Texas high schools based on academic excellence, community service, and need with preference given to those pursuing degrees in agriculture/ranch management, architecture, library science, historic preservation, and landscape architecture.
