  • Duane Bark Memorial Scholarship
    • Click here for an application to complete online. 
       
      Life is not something to be taken for granted, nor is health or the ability to participate in student activities. The pandemic of 2020/21 provided all of us with an important lesson to treasure each day we have and each opportunity we are blessed with to sing, act, play, run, throw, and be together with our classmates.
       
      These opportunities were at the heart of Duane Bark's personal and professional life, which was cut short by COVID-19 in October 2020. Duane’s life was dedicated to helping kids grow, serving for nearly four decades as a teacher, administrator, coach, leader, and mentor. His greatest mission in life was to help others reach their fullest potential, leaving a wave of influence behind him. A man of faith, he set a genuine, heartfelt example, and his legacy was one of love and dedication to his family, his students, his school, his community, and anyone in need of being lifted.
       
      There are two $500 scholarships available: one for a male student and one for a female student who will be graduating seniors from a member school of the Trailways Conference. This scholarship recognizes students' gifts in athletic leadership, positive influence on other students, and living out Duane’s ideals of faith, love, and dedication. Evaluation of applicants will be completed by the Trailways Conference Scholarship Committee. These are annual awards granted to graduating seniors and intended for use in the second semester of their continuing education. The application deadline will be May 1, 2026, with the recipients announced at the Trailways Conference Annual Meeting.

Request for Recommendation: Many times scholarships or colleges will request letters of recommendation. Here are a few tips to ensure you receive the best possible letter.

  1. Choose people that know you well. If you need more than one, be sure to ask people that can give a well-rounded picture of who you are. Do not only choose teachers, but include employers, youth pastors or pastors, and coaches.
  2. Ask your recommender with plenty of time (at least 1-2 weeks prior to deadline).
  3. Tell the person writing the letter what they are writing about. If the scholarship or college really values something like service, work ethic, and participation, make sure that you highlight that when you ask.
  4. It sometimes helps to give these people a list of things you have been involved in while in high school. Here is an example of a form you could use.
