Christopher
Martinat Memorial Scholarship
The Christopher Martinat Memorial Scholarship has been established
in loving memory of Christopher Martinat, a
1998 Lake Forest High School graduate. In recognition of Chris’s
love of nature and the outdoors, this scholarship will fully fund the
tuition for a month-long NOLS
(National Outdoor Leadership School) experience in the Rocky Mountains for one
selected student. Rocky Mountain courses are typified by travel at relatively
high altitudes (8-12,000 ft.), spectacular scenery, wildlife viewing,
and opportunities for rock climbing and fishing. Interested applicants
must be at least 16 years of age and a resident of Lake Forest, Lake
Bluff or Knollwood.
Completed applications, which include an essay, must be returned no later than Friday, February 24, 2012. A selection panel will interview semi-finalists and a recipient will be announced no later than Friday, March 23, 2012. For additional information contact Linda Martinat at 847.615.0820.
This fund was established by generous donations to the Christopher Martinat
Memorial Scholarship and will provide a NOLS outdoor experience for a
selected student every year into perpetuity. A very special thanks to
all who made this memorial possible.
