David Hinsdale Memorial Scholarship
David Hinsdale was a beloved husband of 47 years who passed away last spring, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, generosity, and dedication to service to others.
David enjoyed working with his hands, and he spent decades working as a pool plasterer. Dave was known for his quality craftsmanship and his ability to spend long hours in the sun. He also spent countless hours helping his children with their home projects. Dave’s humanity was intertwined with his work ethic. When he ran his own business, he employed anyone who was willing to put in the effort to learn the trade.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of David Hinsdale by supporting students who share Dave’s passion for craftsmanship.
Any current trade school student or high school student who will attend a trade school after graduation may apply for this scholarship.
