The June Kuns Scholarship Fund provides tuition assistance to families in our community. This scholarship fund was established in memory of June Kuns (June 27, 1914-Aug. 18, 1996). June Kuns lived a quite life of sustained faith. She counted on God's care for His children. June recognized the importance of spiritually guiding children. The memorial scholarship established in her name is continuation of her beliefs and dedication to the education of young children.
Jesus said, "Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
