Don and Carol Holtrop

This scholarship has been established by Mr. Don and Mrs. Carol Holtrop of Montague, Michigan, in honor of Dr. George G. Harper who gave many years of service to Calvin, principally as professor of English, but also as a counselor of students, mentor to young faculty members, repository of insightful memories and stories, and valuable volunteer. The Holtrops are concerned that the college share its resources and opportunities more fully with African-American students who, up to this point, have enrolled in Calvin in limited numbers. It is their hope that this scholarship will be of some help in sharing Calvin College with African-American students and in encouraging these students to share themselves with the College.
