 The number of scholarships in the endowment is expanding and Lincoln
College is able to offer 20 scholarships each in the amount of
$2,300 for high school graduates from Logan County and surrounding
areas.
As Lincoln College continues to expand its 4-year bachelor degree
programs, students have the opportunity to keep their scholarship
each year, providing they stay in good academic standing, as they
earn their bachelor’s degree.
“My sister Anna and I feel it is important to give back to the
community and institution that helped shape us. With Lincoln College
expanding to offer even more bachelor degrees, the timing was right
to extend our scholarships to help more local students attend
Lincoln College and experience a great education,” Behrends
explained.
Since 1998, Anna and Bernie have helped support area students and
their academic careers at Lincoln College.
Lincoln College student and a Behrends Scholarship recipient, Molly
Buse, noted this scholarship helped her gain a valuable education at
Lincoln College.
“The Behrends Scholarship allowed me to attend Lincoln College and
receive a solid foundation for my college education close to home.”

Buse earned the scholarship both years she attended Lincoln College and credits
classes she took at Lincoln College to helping shape her career path in
Communications.
Behrends continues his legacy of educational service to Lincoln and the
surrounding communities. When asked why he and his sister Anna have dedicated
their lives and resources to the educational pursuit of others, he responded,
“education is what’s important! We knew we could do more to help others, the
whole point in life is to help others.”
