About the Aubrey Rose Foundation Scholarships

We believe that humanity begins in children and their realization of how valuable their actions, words, or even a smile can be toward individual growth and to the everyday well being of the people surrounding them. In memory of Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp, we follow through our mission of carrying out the positive impact she had made on so many people by helping children and families who have also made a positive impact on the people around them.

Since 2001, we have organized a children's educational scholarship program in honor of Aubrey Rose.  Aubrey made such a difference in many people's lives within her three short years here on this earth.  To honor her and her achievements, we base our scholarships on a childs' kindness and willingness to give back to our community.  Our scholarships are for those students who have a compassionate heart unlike other scholarships that are based on academics or athletic ability.

How do you become a recipient of an Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp Scholarship?  Scholarship applicants submit an essay and are judged by a panel consisting of the student's school staff members, Aubrey's Grandparents, George and Nancy Frondorf, Aubrey's parents, Jerry and Nancy Hollenkamp and Aubrey's sister and brother, Carly and Spencer.

In 2009, we gave out 29, ( 27 in 2008) $500.00 scholarships awarded to 8th grade students who are going on to a Catholic High School in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. These outstanding students have made a difference in the lives of people around them. Scholarship applications were due by Friday, January 30, 2009 to the Aubrey Rose Foundation to be considered for a scholarship.

In 2010, The Aubrey Rose Foundation is expanding our Scholarship Program to students who not only go to Catholic grade schools in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati but now we are adding Catholic grade schools in Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties in Kentucky and also Catholic schools in Southeastern Indiana.

The scholarships are given out to the students at their graduation or their awards ceremonies where the parents are invited.  This is extremely important piece of our scholarship presentation so that the parents are surprised along with the scholarship recipient to hear their name being recognized for them having a kind-heart.

About the Scholarship Reception

 

Our goal for this Scholarship Reception is to have the scholarship recipients and their parents, the 8th grade teachers, grade school principals and the high school principals from the schools where the recipients will be going to, in attendance. We want this Reception to be so motivating and uplifting and we want everyone to walk away knowing what an honor it was not just for the Scholarship Recipient to receive this award but also for everyone to walk away with a special feeling in their hearts and smiles on their faces!

On June 10th, 2010 the Scholarship Reception was such a wonderful evening. Scholarship recipients could meet other students who will be going on to high school. And it was a night where their new principals/administrators could meet the recipients as well. We had Anthony Buford, ARF Board Member and head of the Junior Scholarship Board speak first and with his a great speaking voice, he spoke volumes to the guests at this Reception. Anthony is a dynamic motivational speaker! Next we had Mike Staud, Junior Scholarship Board Members speak about what being a member of the Junior Scholarship Board really meant to them. He truly is a role model for our scholarship recipients!

Here are a few comments from some of the parents in attendance: “Nancy’s presentation was incredible. My thanks to Jerry for doing such good job of reinforcing what I try so hard to impress upon my own children – the responsibility that comes with living well. I so appreciated his telling the kids that as they enter high school, they now have “a target on their backs.” And, Anthony, I could’ve hugged. My daughter was convinced I had paid him to speak about the responsibility that comes with being so electronically wired to the world.”

Another Dad wrote: “The Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp Foundation is one of those rare organizations that makes people “want” to help others out. Thank you for a wonderful evening. It was very inspirational and motivating for all of us.”

We also presented our ABOVE AND BEYOND AWARD and normally we give it out to one scholarship recipient and their family who has literally gone above and beyond with help the Aubrey Rose Foundation. This year was a tough decision because we had many famililes who pitched in and helped but there was two families to stood out this year and so we decided to give these awards to both families. Allie Stevens and Blake Bischoff and their families received the 2010 Above and Beyond at this Reception. Blake Bischoff is a 2009 scholarship recipient from St. John the Baptist-Harrison and is a sophomore at LaSalle. Allie Stevens is a 2009 scholarship recipient from St. Ignatius Loyola School and she’ll be a sophomore at St. Ursula Academy.

Both Blake and Allie and their families embraced Aubrey’s Foundation with such a passion helping out wherever needed. Their support was evident in everything that Aubrey’s Foundation was a part of. It was a unanimous decision to award this honor to the Steven’s and Bischoff families. With the Above and Beyond Award comes a $1000 scholarship for Blake and Allie’s sophomore year tuition. Congratulations Allie and Blake and families.
