• Duane Bark Memorial Scholarship

  • Requirements:
    Click here for application.
     
    Life is not something to be taken for granted, and neither is health and the ability to participate in student activities. The pandemic of 2020/21 provided all of us 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 the personal and professional life of Duane Bark, whose life was cut short by COVID-19 in October of 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, his example was genuine and heartfelt, and his legacy one of love and dedication to his family, his students, his school, his community, and anyone who needed to be lifted up.
     
    There are two $500 scholarships available, one for a male and one for a female student who will be a graduating senior from a member school of the Trailways Conference. This scholarship recognizes the gifts of students in the areas of athletic leadership, positive influence toward other students, and living out Duane’s ideals of faith, love, and dedication. Evaluation of applicants will be completed by a Trailways Conference Scholarship Committee. These are annual awards granted to graduating seniors and used for the second semester of their continuing education. The application deadline will be June 1, 2021 (typically will be May 1) with the recipients announced at the Trailways Conference Annual Meeting
