Raymond and Velma Merkle Scholarships 2009

Introduction: Velma and Raymond Merkle were both raised and spent their lives in Colorado. Knowing their commitment to each other and being thankful for the education they received during trying times for our Country, motivated Velma to establishment this Scholarship. Though they never had children of their own, it was Velma’s hope that this fund would help a few high school seniors each year, to pay for some of their higher education expenses.

Eligibility: Applicants must be:
1.Be graduating from Littleton High School in May of 2009.

3.Be in need of financial help, have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75, and be active in their school or community.
4.Be a first generation college student (i.e. a student whose parents and grandparents did not graduate from college, a student with siblings who are in college or who have graduated from college are eligible for this scholarship)
