Remembering Nick Adenhart (8/24/86-4/09/09)

Cedar Rapids, IA - Applications are being accepted through the Kernels Foundation for the Nick Adenhart Memorial Scholarship.

Nick Adenhart was a bright young pitcher who played for the Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2006, and was a rising star in the Los Angeles Angels organization. Only hours after Nick's 2009 season debut on the mound for the Angels, a drunk driver tragically killed him on April 9, 2009 at age 22.

Nick's family would like to honor him by awarding a $1,000 scholarship in his memory. The Kernels Foundation is privileged to administer the scholarship on behalf of Nick's family.

The deadline for submitting applications for this scholarship is April 22, 2011. Applicants must be a graduating high school senior from a public or parochial high school located in the Cedar Rapids metro area; planning to attend a two or four-year accredited college or university and enrolled in 12 or more hours per semester. The applicant must have played an organized sport in the last two years (does not have to be a school-sponsored sport), be a great teammate, demonstrated hard work and determination, and have a clear vision of career goals.

Scholarship applications are available through the above schools guidance offices, or may be downloaded from the menu to the left or by clicking here.
