For more than fifteen years, the Robert A. Schuele Scholarship has awarded scholarships to students who have graduated from some of Michigan’s finest colleges and universities including: Central Michigan University, College for Creative Studies, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan.
Several hundred students apply each year with somewhere between nine and twelve students being selected for an interview.
Applicants selected for an interview will receive a $250 scholarship with the successful candidate being awarded the four-year full-ride scholarship. On the RAS Scholarship web site, there are several videos featuring recipients of the scholarship including last year’s recipient Logan Close.
The Robert A. Schuele Scholarship Fund was established to honor the life of a friend, a family man, and a business professional. The intention of the Robert A. Schuele Scholarship Fund is to grant a scholarship award in an amount that will secure the attendance of a student at a major college or university in Michigan.
The Trustees are searching for applicants who have outstanding character, demonstrate commitment to academic studies, experience significant financial need and who will take advantage of the mentoring and networking resources the Trustees intend to offer to maximize the recipient’s educational experience.
