Owen and Bonnie Rottschafer Scholarship

Calvin College gave Owen Rottschafer a second chance. While a student at Calvin, Owen was treated like a unique person and recognized for his potential. This recognition and challenge to use his abilities well helped him grow as a person and develop as a student. His experiences at Calvin molded him and contributed to his becoming the physician he is today. His wife Bonnie is a teacher who loves education, and therefore one scholarship will be given to a student studying in the education program.

Basic criteria:

  • entering freshman, sophomore, junior or senior year (transfers may apply)
  • cumulative high school GPA of 2.50 or higher for incoming students; cumulative university GPA of 3.00 for transfers and current Calvin students
  • one scholarship will be awarded to a junior or senior student pursuing a degree in the teacher education program; additional scholarships will be given to students in any field of study and in any class level
  • financial need is considered

Renewal criteria: This scholarship is automatically renewable with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher. Renewal is subject to funding availability.
