Timothy VanHecke Class of 1978 Scholarship

I would like to say not only am I a hard worker on the basketball court but also in the classroom. My parents have raised me in a way that school always comes first so that has helped me to get good grades my entire life. I have big dreams of making it to the next level on the court one day but first it starts with me in the classroom. Therefore, this scholarship will be an outstanding help to my success in my academic and athletic career.
