Jeff Beal Memorial Friendship Scholarship Fund

January 2, 2008

Scholarship Name:
Jeff Beal Memorial Friendship Scholarship Fund

Description:
This scholarship is inspired by a man that was a true friend to a great many people. Therefore, it is fitting to talk a little bit about what kind of man he was and what kind of person the award is intended for. He had a special way of caring for others, listening, and giving advice when it was needed, often with a sense of humor. He made you laugh and realize he was right all at the same time. He celebrated with you in good times, and cried with you in the bad. He was always there if you needed a hand with whatever mundane or major task life handed you. If he had it to give and you needed it, it was yours. One of his greatest qualities was that he wished for his friends’ dreams to come true as much if not more than he wished for his own. His friends consider him a champion in the friendship arena! If you have a friend you hope can fulfill their dreams, that has some or all of these qualities, and has a clear need and a clear desire to continue their education, we ask that you submit an application for reward on their behalf.

Eligibility Requirements:

  1. Applicant must be nominated by a friend
