Through a generous family donation, AVPRIDE is honored to bring back the Taylor Noelle Conigland Scholarship—a heartfelt tribute to a young woman who embodied passion, creativity, and community spirit.
About Taylor
Taylor was the youngest and most spirited member of her family. A talented athlete, she thrived on the dance team and soccer field, and also had a deep love for reading, poetry, and music. She played the flute and traveled to the London Day Parade with the Fayette County High School Marching Band, where she served proudly as the enthusiastic band mascot.
Taylor was a valued participant in AVPRIDE’s Fayette Youth Leaders PRIDE (FYLP, now SAYA) program. Her legacy lives on through this scholarship, which celebrates the qualities she lived by—creativity, service, fearlessness, and resilience.
