Who Can Apply:
- Bob Deats was a beloved father who sadly passed away in April of 2024 after leading an incredible life.
- Bob was a gifted shop teacher at Cinnaminson High School in New Jersey from 1969 to 2005. He was passionate about volunteering to help others and was constantly working on a project or three, such as restoring an antique car or piano, building for Habitat for Humanity, or fixing his church’s heating.
- Bob used to say that he wanted to give those students who didn’t easily take to classroom learning a reason to come to school so they could learn their academics while they were already there.

- Any high school or undergraduate student who is pursuing education and has volunteering experience, particularly in a mentoring capacity, may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
