SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
|
Investing in deserving students:
- solicit and review applications
- make award recommendations
- distribute scholarship checks
- monitor compliance and performance
|
In creating a Scholarship, you invest in your community's future
and show students you care. The Union County Foundation provides the expertise to help you meet your personal goals
and awards Scholarships to deserving students. Your gift can help students (from preschool to postgraduate) achieve
their lifetime dreams.
How Scholarship Funds Work:
- You make a gift to the foundation; you can give cash, appreciated
stocks, real estate, or other assets.
- We set up a Scholarship in your name, in the name of your family
or business, or in honor of any person or organization you choose.
- You receive tax benefits in the year your gift is made.
- Our professional staff helps you to determine eligibility requirements
for the Scholarship you establish — whether they are based on a student's field of study, academic achievements,
extracurricular activities, financial need, background, or geography.
- We handle all the administrative details — and award Scholarships
to deserving students in the name of the fund you establish.
- Your gift can be placed into an endowment that is invested over
time. Earnings from your fund can be directed into scholarship awards. Your gift — and all future earnings from
your gift — is a permanent source of "academic capital" helping to support scholarships forever.

Sargent V. Chamberlain KIWANIS Scholarship
Dr. C.B. Mills Memorial KIWANIS Scholarship
|
Two separate Kiwanis Funds were established in 2002 to provide
scholarships to promising area students. The Dr. C.B. Mills Memorial-Kiwanis College Scholarship Fund benefits
a Marysville High School student, while the Sargent V. Chamberlain-Kiwanis College Scholarship Fund benefits a
student from Fairbanks High School. These awards are based on qualities such as character, industriousness, class
rank, perseverance, need, and integrity. These scholarships are one of the many ways the Kiwanis Club supports
and contributes to charitable causes in Union County.

The Pat Conlon Scholarship for MHS Students was established by

at Marysville East Elementary School for many years and was well-known in the community for her love of family,
faith and friends.
The scholarship is awarded in Pat Conlon's honor and memory to recognize students that exemplify the qualities
she modeled and espoused - strong character, academic achievement, leadership, and school and community involvement.

Charles W. Green Scholarship
|
 Established
in July of 1999, Charles Green's widow Marjorie, and his family members initiated this scholarship Fund. The Fund's
goal is to support and award a Marysville High School senior each year who will enroll in agricultural, technical,
or a vocational field. Other considerations include need, academic achievement, and citizenship.
Charles was a dairy, livestock, and grain farmer for more than
50 years in the Route 4 Blues Creek Road area of Marysville. He could repair most mechanical items and fabricate
tools to accomplish quality work efficiently. He used his skills to solve many problems as well as help others
solve their challenges. Mr. Green's character and work ethic are traits worthy of our youth modeling. The Green
adult children; David, Marcia Welch, and Melissa Lamb, encouraged this Fund so that the memory of their beloved
father may live on in the lives of students who possess many of the same talents and aptitudes that he was blessed
with.
