Live Your Life Endowment

This year the Live Your Life Endowment is excited to offer a scholarship to graduating seniors in the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School and Starmont Community School Districts. One scholarship will be awarded in the amount of $750.00. The Live Your Life Endowment was established in 2007, in memory of Andrea Bockenstedt, who passed away unexpectedly in a car accident at the age of 13.
