The Rising to the Challenge Scholarship in honor of Rev. Franklin Fields Taylor was conceived by his beloved best friends, Cindy & Ron Noton, to commemorate & memorialize their love and friendship for Frank. Frank was a Philadelphia, PA native, graduating from Overbook High School and Arizona State University before relocating to Austin, TX. He was a member of the St. James Missionary Baptist Church from 1991-2020. He was also a licensed and ordained minister, pastor, counselor, advocate, leader, mentor, teacher (national & state level) and evangelist. He retired from Austin Community College after 28 years of service.
