Alumni Scholarships

The Emp Alumni Fellowship Scholarship:
This scholarship was established in the Fall of 1994. The inspiration for this scholarship was a donation to the Emp Alumni Fellowship by Betty Merrell (Emp 1952) in memory of her brother, Robert Merrell (Emp 1953-54). Generous donations from former and current Emps, friends of the Emp community and a very generous donation from the Estate of Mildred Gott Bryan in memory of Robert Merrell allowed the first scholarships to be awarded in 1997.

A total of 37 scholarships have been awarded since 1997 with a dollar amount of approximately $38,000. Thanks to the continued support of former Emps and friends of the Emp community, the Scholarship Fund continues to grow and hence the Emp Alumni Fellowship's ability to award scholarships.

2005 recipients of the Emp Alumni Fellowship Scholarships were: Kayla Carpenter, Amber Love, Pam Heintzelman, Nate Johns, Jocelyn Kolb, Emily Elling and Kate Meehan.

2006 recipients of the Emp Alumni Fellowship Scholarships were:  Amy Thompson, Benjamin Brumbaugh, Heather Hassett, Nathanael Johns, Chelsea Frisbee, and Kimthy Vu.

The purpose of the Emp Alumni Fellowship Scholarship Fund is to provide additional financial support, through a stipend, to a summer Employee who, but for this assistance, would not otherwise be able to work at the Silver Bay Association.

To be eligible, a person must be enrolled full-time in an accredited college whether residential or commuting for the school year following the summer of Employment. A five-member committee will review applications. Recipients will be selected and notified of their selection by April 1. The total stipend shall be in an amount to be determined by the Scholarship Committee, but not less than $1,000.
