Gary W. Kaup Memorial Scholarship
Phelps County Community Foundation COLLEGE Scholarship Recipients 2015
The Phelps County Community Foundation manages a large pool of scholarship funds for the benefit of students in and around Phelps County. When a new fund is created at the Foundation the donor has the joy of deciding who that perfect candidate might be. For this reason, scholarship awards become a very meaningful gift for a donor and their family. This year the Foundation offered two new scholarship awards:
The family of Gary W. Kaup established a memorial scholarship at the Phelps County Community Foundation. Throughout his battle with cancer, Gary and his family experienced a new appreciation of healthcare through the love and compassion shown to them by medical personnel. This inspired Gary’s
family to create a scholarship in his memory. To qualify for this $1,000 scholarship award, a student must have completed at least two years of post-secondary education and be enrolled (full time) in a medical field of study. Qualified students must
have a 3.0 or better GPA and must submit an essay telling why the medical field is important to them. The Holdrege High School Class of 1966 created a scholarship fund as a ‘grow fund’ and solicited class members to contribute over a period of time.
This scholarship is now available to graduating seniors of HHS who have maintained a 3.0 GPA. Qualified applicants will be required to submit an essay sharing the applicant’s personal characteristics, attributes and the applicant’s 5-10 year goals following the completion of their degree.
Three additional new scholarship funds are scheduled to be available for the 2016-2017 scholarship season. We will release more information about these awards in the near future. The Foundation is honored to manage $3.7 Million in scholarship funds for the benefit of helping students attain their goals of receiving a higher education.
PCCF Scholarship Offerings Continue to Grow!
