Memorials & Tributes
Establishing a Fund or Scholarship
Commemorating someone who has made a significant impact on your life or in the community through a memorial or tribute gift not only honors that individual but also benefits students at Owens Community College, whose lives can be profoundly transformed.
Scholarships given in memory of loved ones speak volumes about the lives of those we remember. Gifts can be given to celebrate milestones in someone’s life—a birthday, an anniversary or a special accomplishment. No matter the event, your gift in honor of that special someone can help foster a student on their road to success.
If you would like to establish a fund or scholarship in memory of someone who was close to you, please call the Owens Community College Foundation at (567) 661-7100. You can also email for more information.
