The Primary purpose is to encourage students pursuing a degree in business or other entrepreneurial-related fields who have aspirations to become entrepreneurs or business leaders. Larry and Jane Carithers, for whom the scholarship is named, developed Carithers flowers from humble beginnings to become one of the leading and mos respected flower business owners in the United States. Their dream was to offer financial assistance and encouragement to persons with the similar goal of starting and growing their own businesses or who would contribute to their community through their business relationships. Both Larry and Jane were members of the Rotary Club of Marietta Metro and we are honored to continue the scholarship program in their memory.
