Scholarship Purpose: The Curt Benz Memorial Youth Scholarship Fund was established in 2003 to honor the memory of Curt Benz. The purpose of the fund is to assist and aid the spiritual development of children and youth by helping with registration fees to church-approved camps and youth trips. The intention of this scholarship is that it be used primarily for Camp Fairwood summer camps and secondarily for designated youth ministry summer trips. The scholarship may also be used to provide aid to children and youth who may be unable to attend these camps or trips without some financial assistance.
