Since its founding the Fund

has awarded scholarships totaling over $500,000 to

graduating high school seniors of military homes of

enlisted personal and commissioned officers, both active

and retired. Among the twenty winners studying during the

1999-2000 scholastic year, seventeen achieved academic

distinction: Presidents List, Deans List, or enrollment

in Honors Programs. The Fund currently has scholarship

winners studying in 20 universities and colleges in 13

states including prestigious institutions such as

Princeton, Duke, Dartmouth, and MIT.

This year's Air Force

Scholarship winner William L. Adams from Fayetteville, GA

is the youngest son of TSGT Robert Adams, USAF (Ret.),

and Tuyet Adams. He graduated with a GPA of 4.0 and a SAT

score of 1560.

He has spent 9 years

studying the alto saxophone and has performed as

principal saxophonist in district and all-state bands. He

will be attending Harvard this fall. This other winners

this year are from WI, VA, KS, and CA.

The Stuhr Scholarship

Fund�s goal is to create an endowment of $1,000,000 in

the next few years in order to have the scholarship

program become self-sustaining from investment income in

perpetuity while permitting an increase in the awards to

better help meet todays college costs, the Funds tribute

to the Armed Services, and its legacy to the future

education of the country's youth.
