Andy W. Schrier Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship was established in memory of Andrew Schrier, class of 1999, by a group of Andy’s friends and classmates at Calvin. They remember Andy’s enthusiasm for life, commitment to neighborhood development, eagerness to form strong friendships, and sharp sense of humor. They hope that students with a similar concern for social justice and community renewal will be benefited by this scholarship.

Basic criteria:

• entering sophomore, junior, or senior year
• cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher

• if the above are met, the following may also be considered: 1) a minority student and 2) a student committed to living in an intentional community such as Project Neighborhood

Renewal criteria: Students who wish to be considered for renewal must file a new application each year and will be given equal consideration with other candidates. However, the scholarship can be renewed automatically if the recipient can provide documentation and/or verification of 50 or more hours of volunteer service or involvement with an organization dedicated to urban renewal/development.
