Kenleigh Hodge, Texas A&M University

Kenleigh’s passion for leadership and service shines through in every aspect of her life. A top-performing student at Frisco High School, she graduated in the top 10% of her class with a 4.0 GPA, earning accolades such as the Advanced Placement Scholar Award and IB Psychology Student of the Year. She plans to attend Texas A&M University, where she will double major in business administration and society, ethics, and law, with aspirations of becoming a family attorney specializing in divorce and child custody.

Kenleigh’s leadership extends beyond academics. She served as Vice President of the Spanish National Honor Society, led recruitment efforts, and organized volunteer events supporting Spanish-speaking communities. She was also selected to represent her class on the Superintendent Advisory Council and has been a small group leader at her church for several years. Her summer volunteer work with Young Life’s Sharp Top Cove camp, cleaning facilities to support campers and staff, demonstrates her humility and dedication to service.

“I’m incredibly honored to receive the Marianna Brady, PhD. Scholarship. This support will help me pursue my academic and career goals with greater focus and less financial stress. I’m excited to begin this next chapter and give back to the communities that have shaped me.”

Kenleigh is the daughter of Dana Hodge.
