27 Renewals Awarded

The Foundation trustees feel strongly that providing more than a first year college scholarship is helpful for a recipient on the path for a college degree. If that first year scholarship helps financially, then “a renewal scholarship will be as important to keep someone in college.” A dozen of our 48 Donor Partners share that view.

Scholarship applicants are asked what “service to others” means to them. In this newsletter series we report excerpts of their responses:
Olivia - Volunteering for the Special Olympics involved making the events for the athletes with disabilities the best experience they can have. It was an emotion filled thing Just seeing the smiles on the athletes and speaking to the parents and coaches about how the Special Olympics events positively impacted them; that was the best thing.
Introducing a Foundation Trustee
Long-time Kenmore and Inglewood resident Dick Ramsey served as an early day Foundation trustee and president when the Kiwanis Club of Northshore became affiliated with the Foundation in 1988. From the early 1960s, he operated Ostrom’s Drugs and retail business and devoted considerable time for education. He served on the Northshore School District Board of Trustees and was a strong supporter of high school athletic programs. Today’s Newsletter salutes those who founded this organization and were instrumental in our success. It is appropriate that he appears under the Service to Others banner.
The family in earlier years sponsored a scholarship at his alma mater University of Washington School of Pharmacy. The grant was awarded in his mother Lillian’s memory to a student in pharmacy who planned to enter the field of community pharmacy.
