Martha-Ellen Tye Scholarships for Quakerdale residents have been increased to reflect rising education costs, and to better assist our students in their academic careers. The new amounts will go into effect with the fall 2008 semester.

Martha-Ellen Tye Scholarships are available to any former Quakerdale service recipient who enrolls as a full-time student in a two-year college or four year college or university. Beginning in fall 2008, the scholarship will award $1000 per semester (up to $2,000 per year) for two-year colleges, and $2,000 per semester (up to $4,000 per year) for four-year universities.

Scholarship applications may be requested from Denton Ketels, Scholarship Chair, Quakerdale, P.O. Box 8, New Providence, Iowa 50206; by calling 641-497-5294; or by e-mailing dketels@quakerdale.org.
