Fred \u201cFritz\u201d Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the Verona Town Board in Verona has again created the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service.<\/p>\n

The eighth\u00a0annual scholarship will be in the amount of $250 and will be awarded by Fritz to a Verona student who is on track to graduate from 12th grade at a high school (public or private) or home school by June 30, 2017.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the student must have lived in the Town of Verona, New York since at least December 1, 2016, and must be voluntarily engaged in community service or must have created a community project.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did the inaugural scholarship back in the spring of 2010 as a way to honor my Dad\u2019s memory,\u201d said Scherz.\u00a0 \u201cMy dad, Fred Scherz Sr., truly believed in giving back to his community, and took pride in helping\u00a0many people,\u201d said Scherz. \u201cLast year, I presented Kierstyn Kahler with the seventh annual Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service.<\/p>\n

“I plan on self-funding this year\u2019s scholarship in my dad\u2019s name and feel that if students get started in volunteering at a younger age, they\u2019ll continue to do so once\u00a0they\u2019re out of school. I\u2019m a strong believer that volunteerism is a great thing for any community.\u201d<\/p>\n
