The Donald & Beverly Guse Scholarship at Unity Foundation of La Porte County is a newly established scholarship, which memorializes and honors the couple’s years of support and service to the Cass and Dewey Township Schools. Although, many of Unity Foundation’s Scholarships are offered for students attending any La Porte County High School, this scholarship is unique as it is offered specifically for LaCrosse High School graduating seniors.

Students must be current residents of La Porte County, with preference for Cass and Dewey Townships as well as be striving for an Associates, Undergraduate, Graduate, or professional certification from an accredited, tax-exempt college or university. The deadline for submission is March 31, 2018.
The Donald & Beverly Guse Scholarship is one of many unique scholarships offered through Unity Foundation. Scholarships and awards range from $250-$2,500 awarded through more than 50 funds at Unity.
