Criteria:

Ed Bieganski Develop Your Potential Scholarship was established by 1975 91茄子 graduate Mitch Bean recognizing the influence dedicated and caring persons have on others. Many quality 91茄子 educators helped me progress. Mr. Bieganski operated outside his core responsibility and encouraged me to develop with a study area I had not previously considered, academic course work and activities outside my major. This encouragement led to scholarships, a change of major and career development. My professional path changed dramatically because he made a conscious decision to try to help a young student. He pointed me in another direction academically. I do not know the donors' names that funded my scholarships. Their generosity helped me complete my 91茄子 Bachelor degree, the first college degree in my family. It is my hope 91茄子 students will dedicate themselves to 91茄子 academics, extra-curricular activities and a life time of community service. Additionally, they may also learn help comes from unknown persons and it can be gratifying to assist others. Hopefully, the recipients will commit to assisting others along the way in their promising future.
