The Gilbert Verkamp Mentors for Youth of Dubois County Scholarship
Mentors for Youth has been successful in matching children and providing them with positive role models. We have been an integral part in the development of many children. However, an individual’s development does not stop at the end of high school. These children are often faced with an option of getting a job or earning a degree. Additional schooling is an alternative which may sound attractive but not be affordable. Thus, we, believe we could provide an additional service to the children of our community by offering a college scholarship.
