Harold and Louise Feringa

Harold (’48) and Louise (‘46) Feringa spent their childhood years living two blocks from each other; both attended Creston Christian (elementary) School and Grand Rapids Christian High School. However, it was not until Louise served as organist at Creston Christian Reformed Church, Harold’s home church, that they began to date and were married in 1948. Both Harold and Louise had long careers as educators, Harold in political science and economics in community college, and Louise in elementary education. Louise also taught piano and organ for many years and has played the organ in churches throughout her life. Through this scholarship they wish to honor Calvin College and encourage Calvin students who have a strong interest in music to achieve their goals. This scholarship is intended to reward diligent students.
