Scholarship Opportunities Beyond Scecina

Eileen Hurrle Memorial Scholarship Fund

In January 2018, on Eileen Hurrle’s passing, family and friends decided to honor her by establishing an endowment in her memory. Eileen was a member of the “The Greatest Generation,” a generation characterized by personal responsibility, duty, honor, and faith. In addition, she was a devoted wife, mother of eight Scecina graduates, and a genuine fan of Scecina and all its students. This scholarship is to help a graduating senior attend a four-year college.

Please send essays by Friday, March 8, 2024, to Elizabeth Millard, emillard@scecina.org.

Rita Kriech Memorial Scholarship

Funded by the children of Rita Kriech:

The children of Rita Kriech, Janine (Robinson) Riggs, class of 2000; Luke Robinson, class of 2003; and Sara (Robinson) Bortz, class of 2006, would like to honor their mother’s contribution to their lives with a scholarship for $2,000 to both a male and female student for the student’s senior year. Rita passed away on July 1, 2001. We are currently looking for female applicants for the 2024-25 school year. Application deadline is now Friday, March 8, 2024.

The requirements of the Rita Kriech Scholarship consist solely of expressing the applicant’s devotion to personal accountability and development, which Mrs. Kriech felt were very important. The children of Mrs. Kriech specifically ask for two things.

  • An essay discussing why the student feels it is essential to do their best and, to date, how they think they have achieved the task. There is no restriction regarding the length of the essay.
  • Submission of an item that shows and celebrates one of the applicant’s talents of which she is proud. It is preferred that the submission’s largest dimension be 18 inches or less as the item will be transported to the family out of state and must be shipped or transported via car by a family member. Some examples include a drawing, a photograph, and an audio or video recording, but the applicant can choose what to submit  (highlight video of sports; object or picture of the object made in art class; community service award within the community; short video of participation by the applicant in the school musical, etc.) Please include all applicable details, such as file type, size, and duration, for anything requiring some technology to work. The family would appreciate a short paragraph explaining the entry and why the applicant submitted it. All submissions will be returned after the selection process is completed.

All materials should be submitted to the President’s Office by Elizabeth Millard. Upon receipt of all applicants’ materials, a representative of the  Development Office will deliver the applications and materials to the family of Rita Kriech for recommendations as to who the recipients should be.
