Jerry A. & M. Christine Walker Scholarship

The Jerry A. and M. Christine Walker Scholarship was established in 2019 by Christine Walker to provide financial assistance for Kalamazoo County residents or persons who have graduated from a school within Kalamazoo County. The purpose of the scholarship is to help students reach their goals of increased financial independence through employment. This multiyear award renews annually and provides $1,000 to support students pursuing associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, or vocational/trade certification. The scholarship is particularly focused on students whose families have immigrated to the United States and who demonstrate financial need. Recipients can be high school seniors or current undergraduate students attending full-time or part-time.
