APPLICATONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR CHARETTE SCHOLARSHIP
Applications are now being accepted for the Spring 2020 Gilferd R. Charette Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship was established by local attorney Robbie Gail Charette and her mother, Helen, in honor of Helen’s husband Gilferd, who died from Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2005.
The scholarship is intended for young adults whose family has been affected by childhood cancer; who have successfully completed 60 college credit hours and have been accepted for a next semester at a Texas university; and have graduated from high school in Washington, Austin, Brazos, Burleson, Fayette, Grimes, Lee, or Waller Counties.
Bellville’s Allison Schaff received the inaugural $2,500 scholarship, which is given to children with cancer or siblings of children with cancer.
Brenham’s Adam’s Angels Ministry and Brenham GameChangers helped the two find the first recipient of the scholarship.
Scholarship applications for the spring 2020 semester open November 1st. To learn more, visit www.charettefoundation.org, or email info@charettefoundation.org.
