About the Scholarship
Founder's Note
The 7Artifacts Scholarship Fund was established to provide financial support to students pursuing higher education or skilled trades, while honoring a legacy rooted in family, service, and opportunity.
​
The scholarship originally began as the Jackson-Lucas Scholarship Fund, created to recognize the importance of education and to honor the values instilled through generations of family leadership and perseverance. As the scholarship became solely led and expanded in vision, it transitioned under the 7Artifacts brand—a platform dedicated to purpose, creativity, and lasting impact.
​
Today, the 7Artifacts Scholarship Fund supports students seeking college degrees or trade education. Our mission is to remove financial barriers, celebrate multiple pathways to success, and empower students to take the next step toward their goals.
​
Our mission is to empower the next generation to leave their mark—through education, skill, and purpose.

The 7Artifacts Scholarship Fund is deeply personal to me.
What began as the Jackson-Lucas Scholarship Fund was created to honor my family’s legacy—one rooted in perseverance, service, and the belief that education opens doors. That foundation shaped who I am, and it inspired me to create something that would give others the same opportunity to grow, dream, and build.
​
As I stepped into leading the scholarship solely on my own, it felt natural to bring it under the 7Artifacts umbrella. 7Artifacts was built on the idea that completed works are timeless and that each of us has the power to leave a meaningful mark. The scholarship is an extension of that belief—transforming legacy into action.
​
Through this fund, my goal is to support students pursuing college, technical education, or skilled trades, and to remind them that there is no single path to success. What matters is intention, effort, and the courage to take the next step forward.
​
This scholarship represents more than financial assistance—it represents belief. Belief in potential. Belief in purpose. And belief in the next generation’s ability to leave their mark on the world.
