Description

The David B. Gianas Memorial Scholarship provides educational scholarships for students with documented special needs. It benefits students who, because of their unique differences, find achieving their educational goals difficult because of the lack of encouragement and/or financial resources. Through this scholarship, Margaret A. Krause, seeks to create a “helping hand” to the type of students her husband taught and mentored. He lifted the spirits of those who were hurting and needed support, and reminded them that they didn’t have to lose their personality to be loved and respected in the world.
