Mission: The mission of the Bill Nelson Scholarship Endowment (BNSE) is to honor Bill Nelson, founder of Rotary Corporation and one of the great leaders of the outdoor power equipment aftermarket industry, by providing educational scholarships annually, and to maintain the endowment from which scholarship funds will be drawn. The BNSE is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, formed by OPEAA.
Award: The BNSE will award an academic scholarship to an outstanding high school graduate, college undergraduate, or graduate student pursuing any degree, with a preference for those in a business-related field. The award is intended to supplement the educational expenses for students in the upcoming academic year. The amount, number and frequency of the awards will be determined annually by the Trustees.
Eligibility: Eligibility will be open to employees of OPEAA members, their children, stepchildren, grandchildren and adopted children. There will be no limitation on who can apply, other than the employee must be working full time upon submission of the application on behalf of themselves or their children, as defined above. Current part-time employees (but not their children) are also eligible to apply for a scholarship. The applicant must be planning to attend, or already be enrolled in an accredited institution of higher learning. The scholarship can be reapplied for in successive years.
Application Procedures: An application for the BNSE must be received by April 30 at the OPEAA national office for the academic year beginning the following September. The applicant must be, at a minimum, a high school senior. The applicant must submit his or her ACT and SAT scores and a cumulative GPA, as of the most recent semester. The BNSE Trustees will receive all applications by mail, and will meet following April 30 to review the applications and select the final recipient(s).
Trustees: The Trustees appointed for the BNSE are:
Chip Armstrong, American Lubricating Co.
David E. Errick, D.E. Errick, Inc.
Ed Nelson, Rotary Corporation
Bob Phillips, Desert Extrusion Corporation
Bob Titterington, Phoenix Manufacturing Co.
The Trustees have appointed Deborah Beck to serve as the Administrator of the BNSE.
Tax Deductibility: Contributions to the BNSE may be deducted as a charitable expense.
