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.

Scholarship Reception

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. A scholarship reception is held each year to honor the students. To see scholarship reception information and scholarship winners and essays, click here.
