Forever Blake Memorial Scholarship
The Forever Blake Memorial Scholarship honors the life and legacy of Blake Alan Klobuchar, whose life was marked by positivity, encouragement, energy, humor, and an extraordinary ability to bring people together.
Blake had a genuine gift for making people feel welcome and valued. He was a friend to people of all ages and backgrounds, and brought enthusiasm, encouragement, and positive energy to those around him. He never felt the need to fit into a mold or be anyone other than himself. He was unique, genuine, and unapologetically Blake, and he encouraged others to embrace their individuality.
This scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate the qualities Blake exemplified throughout his life: kindness, positivity, encouragement, inclusion, leadership, friendship, individuality, and the ability to bring people together.
To apply, answer all essay questions about how you support others, build community, express your individuality, and hope to make a difference.
Please answer these two questions. There is no minimum word count; your combined response may be up to 600 words.
Tell us about a time you made a positive difference in someone else's life or in your school, team, or community. How did you encourage or support others, help people feel welcome and included, or bring your own unique qualities and personality to those around you?
What is something that is unapologetically you? It could be a personality trait, an obsession, a weird talent, a hobby, a sense of humor, or something else that makes you uniquely yourself. Tell us about it.
