Bud and Clarice Hendrickson Scholarship
Lawrence (Bud) and Clarice Hendrickson have a deep love for Calvin. Bud was a member of the class of 1940, and an athlete who played on championship men’s tennis and basketball teams. He made many exceptional friends during his college years. They have proven to be friends for a lifetime. Bud had to pay his own way through college, so he and Clarice know what it means to sacrifice for a Christian education. After graduation they married and he went on to become a successful realtor in the Grand Rapids area. The Hendricksons are grateful for Calvin and appreciate the quality education it provides. They also have a warm heart for students. They have established this scholarship to benefit another generation of Calvin students, with a special interest in assisting students with financial need. Candidates are students entering any class level at Calvin. They must have a grade point average of 2.50 or higher and demonstrate some evidence of financial need. No separate application is required. Current recipients will be given equal consideration with other candidates. Three scholarships of $1,700 were awarded for 2007-2008.
Herbert H. Hansen and Colby Morath Memorial Scholarship
Marjory Hansen of Woodstock, Illinois, established this scholarship in the memory of two very important people in her life—her husband of 56 years, Herbert, and her grandson Colby. The two men were very close, and both died within one year of each other. Colby was killed in a tragic car accident during his sophomore year at Calvin. This scholarship, which honors him and his grandfather, is given to help a student with financial need. Candidates are students entering any class level at Calvin and who are pursuing any major. They must demonstrate some evidence of financial need. No separate application is required. Current recipients will be given equal consideration with other candidates. One scholarship of $800 was awarded for 2007-2008.
