Jack and Joyce Vander Sloot

Jack and Joyce Vander Sloot have established this scholarship in memory of their son Joel, who lost his courageous battle with cancer on May 3, 2003. Joel was a 1991 graduate of Calvin who majored in Art and possessed a keen interest for photography. As the owner of Motophoto, a film processing business in Grand Rapids, he provided Calvin students with a wonderful service by picking up their film orders on campus several times a week and returning their pictures the same day.

Mr. and Mrs. Vander Sloot have been long-time supporters of Christian education from the elementary grades through college, and now wish to share the blessings that God has given them to enable a junior or senior student majoring in Studio Art to experience a Christ-centered education at Calvin. First preference will be given to a student who shares Joel’s interest in photography.
