JOHN AND JEANNE KNOTT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP Recipient: Austin Rennhack Major: Physical Education
This fund was established to remember John and Jeanne Knott and to recognize achievement for a physical education student. They were devoted to their jobs, both of which involved working with children. Many children suffered home-life problems, or mental or physical disabilities and needed foster care, which the Knotts provided in their own home. They spent their lives taking care of numerous foster children, plus their own two sons. RENEE AND JACK JENKINS ELEMENTARY EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP Recipient: Anna Hoffman Majors: Early Childhood Education; Elementary Education We believe strongly in supporting those students who have chosen to pursue a degree in elementary education. As future educators these students play a crucial role in shaping the next generation. Their dedication to fostering a safe and positive learning environment for young children deserves recognition and support. By providing a scholarship to assist with their tuition, we hope to alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with pursuing a career in education. We aim to empower and inspire these students, ensuring that they have the necessary resources and financial support to excel in their studies and ultimately contribute to the improvement of not only young learners but also our education system. By investing in their education, we are investing in a brighter future for both our students and our society as a whole. The knowledge we gain over our lifetimes is not ours to keep. We are obligated to pass on our knowledge to future generations.
