Scholarship and Grants
Bay View’s Endowment Committee administers three endowment funds that provide both grants and scholarships to the community.
Kenneth Anderson Scholarship
Kenneth Anderson grew up in Sturgeon Bay. He was baptized and confirmed at Bay View Lutheran church and graduated from Sturgeon Bay High school. As a young adult, he moved to San Francisco and worked in the airline industry for many years. Although he lived on the west coast, he always returned to Sturgeon Bay and his family for holidays. His nephew remembers him as a kindly man who lived in a small apartment with a beautiful view of San Francisco Bay and who drove an old Toyota but collected art. Mr. Anderson died in 1997 and left a bequest to Bay View Lutheran Church, specifying that the money be used for educational purposes.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: A completed application must be received at Bay View Lutheran Church on or before April 1. Application received after April 1st will not be considered.
