Annette Chandler Scholarship

Scholarships within the college are awarded to provide financial support based on need, academic achievement, or other specific scholarship criteria as outlined below.
After graduating and earning her teaching certificate, she taught English, journalism, and social studies for thirty- two years in Adams County School District #1 and Mapleton Public Schools. Annette’s first love was teaching, and she was passionate about traveling the world and documenting her travels with photographs. Her travels took her to Russia, Peru, South Africa, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Chile, Mexico, England, Syria, Jordan, Greece, Egypt, and India.
We encourage students to express gratitude, and so thank you letters can be written to Darlene Linder and Mary Beth Murphy.
