“Scholarships for high school seniors and undergrad students are common.  Scholarships for those pursuing a post graduate degree are not as common, but still vitally important,” Reimer said.  “Richard Gebhart was a unique individual who earned several degrees in his lifetime.  The Gebhart family has chosen to honor their loved one by providing a scholarship as unique as Richard Gebhart’s legacy.”
