BENJAMIN GRACE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP Application Form

The Benjamin Grace Memorial Scholarship was established through the Pikes Peak Community College Foundation by the parents, brothers, family and friends of Ben. This scholarship will benefit a student who is enrolled at PPCC in the area of auto mechanics, psychology, sociology, veterinary science or child welfare. Students who are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university with the intention of majoring in one of these areas may also apply for this scholarship. Benjamin grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he developed an avid interest in mechanics while working on his first car, his dad's yellow Rabbit and helping his brother keep his old Chevette running. Entering the Army at only 17 years old, Ben grew up quickly, but still maintained his passion for auto mechanics, his ability to connect and communicate with children and his special love of animals. After obtaining his GED, he continued to increase in rank and finished tours of duty in Haiti and Korea. Finally at Fort Carson, he continued his education at Pikes Peak Community College, earning straight A's in psychology and sociology while becoming a very skilled Heavy Wheel Mechanic in the 360th Transportation Company. Out of a very deep appreciation for knowing and loving this young man, this scholarship is given in the hope that it will help other young people find meaning and purpose in their lives.
