Harold (Hank) Leith Willis Memorial Scholarship Fund

Friends and family have generously donated funds to establish the Harold (Hank) Leith Willis Memorial Scholarship Fund, in his memory.

Hank was always a strong believer in the value of education in all its diverse forms and believed that volunteerism and community involvement was both a privilege and a responsibility for all community members. His life was a living testament to this belief. Hank was a member of the Steering Committee for the establishment of the Community Foundation and served as its charter President for 2 years. He was also involved in the early planning for the Aron Theatre Cooperative and the proposed Multi-Use Recreational Facillity for Campbellford.

This award will be presented annually to a student graduating from Campbellford District High School who is pursuing post-secondary education. The successful candidate shall have two or more of the following criteria to be eligible for the scholarship:

• Demonstrate community involvement inside and outside the school community
• An A- or B+ grade average (not the highest mark)
• A volunteer in the community, a leader that gets involved on their own volition
• May enter into social services or education as a career
