Shelter Agent Corey Leonard sponsors and partially funds these scholarships.

Beginning in the fall after high school graduation Ms. Koncyk and Mr. Aylesworth can direct the scholarship funds toward tuition, fees, or campus housing for any course of study leading to an academic degree at any accredited college or university.

The scholarships are given without regard to race, disability, religion, national origin or gender of applicants.

The $2,000 scholarships are paid directly to the school the recipient selects. Ms. Konczyk and Mr. Aylesworth each received a certificate from Corey on behalf of the Shelter Foundation.
