Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the
Verona Town Board in Verona,
NY, has again created the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community
Service. The 10th annual scholarship will be in
the amount of $250 and will be awarded by Fritz to a Town of Verona, New York
student who is on track to graduate
from 12th grade at a high school (public or private) or home school
by June 30, 2019. Additionally, the student
must have
lived in the Town of Verona, New York since at least December 1, 2018, and must
be voluntarily engaged in community service or must have created a
community project that benefits the Town of Verona.
“It’s hard to believe it’s
been 10 years since I did the inaugural scholarship back in the spring of 2010
as a
way to honor my Dad’s memory,” said Scherz. “My Dad, Fred Scherz Sr., believed it was
important to give back to his community, and he took pride in helping people,”
said Scherz. “Last year, Zachary Nell
won the 9th Annual Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer
Community Service. I
plan on self-funding this
year’s scholarship in my Dad’s name and feel that if students get started
in volunteering at a younger age, they’ll continue to do so once they’re out of school. I’m a strong believer that
volunteerism is a great thing for any community!”
