Madeline Ford

Madeline Ford is heading into her junior year at Coastal LIFE this fall as this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow Nora Fadley Scholarship Award recipient, focusing on childhood education and gaining retail experience with graduation expected in Spring 2028.

This summer, Maddie learned how to ride a bike for the first time, a milestone she’s thrilled about. Her goals for the future are just as exciting: becoming a fitness or dance instructor, working as an assistant teacher for a kindergarten class, and living in her own apartment one day.

Maddie loves to dance, make TikToks, and spend time with her sorority sisters and her friend back home.

Way to go, Maddie, on and off the bike! Onward to a fantastic junior year.
