2015 Scott Ewing Memorial Senior Scholarship Winners Announced

[June 01, 2015]  ATLANTA - Every year, the Olympia Ministerial Alliance awards scholarships to area seniors at graduation. The scholarship is named the “Scott Ewing Memorial Senior Scholarship” in honor of Scott Ewing, a youth minister from Minier who invested great time and concern in our area young people. He was tragically killed in an automobile accident in December of 2004.

This scholarship seeks to honor those graduating seniors from Olympia High School who exemplify their Christian life and character at school, their church, within their community, and with their life goals. This year two students were awarded scholarships of $750 each. It is our hope that these awards will be an encouragement to these young people as they pursue their future plans.

This scholarship is funded by donations from churches, church related groups, and individuals in the Olympia area. Without their help, this scholarship would not be possible.

The Olympia Ministerial Alliance is proud to announce this year’s $750 award winners are Christopher Geurts and Allison Schuette.

Christopher is the son of Eric and Tami Geurts of Stanford. Christopher intends to study wildlife biology and management at either University of Wisconsin or South Dakota State University.

Allison is the daughter of Brad and Angie Schuette of Atlanta. Allison will continue her education at Eastern Illinois University. The Olympia Ministerial Alliance is pleased to congratulate these young people on their lives and achievement.

Anyone interested in donating to the scholarship fund may send their contribution to the Scott Ewing Scholarship Fund, c/o Pastor Kurt Walker, Hopedale Mennonite Church, 5192 Hopedale Rd. Hopedale, IL 61747. For more information you may call [phone].
