The Charles P. Soape/Oxy USA Scholarship was established in 1996 by the Soape family in memory of Charles P. Soape. Mrs. Soape and their children established the scholarship through a joint effort with the matching gifts program of Oxy USA. Mr. and Mrs. Soape’s children are Charlene Burns, Donna Darnell, James P. Soape and Jackie Soape, all from Carthage. The scholarship is awarded each year to enable a deserving student to attend Panola College.
