Matthew Remein D.C. Area Scholarship

On January 25, 1997, a terrible automobile accident took the life of Calvin senior Brian De Wall (Fruitport, Michigan) and seriously injured Moni Anders (Galena, Ohio), Lori Powell (Worthington, Ohio) and Matt Remein (Silver Spring, Maryland). Moni eventually recovered, but Lori and Matt remain limited by brain injury. In October 1999, a group of 46 Calvin College students, staff, and alumni (organized by the Chaplain’s Office) ran in the Chicago Marathon to raise money and provide support to the families of the three Calvin students still daily affected by that crash. This scholarship honors these students and provides assistance for future Calvin students from the greater Washington D.C. area.
