      Deadline:         March 30 , 2022         
      Award Amounts:         Varies ($250 - $2500) 
      The Criteria: The Andrew McMorris Foundation Scholarship was created to honor the memory of 
      a very special twelve-year-old boy who was tragically killed by a drunk driver while hiking with his 
      Boy Scout troop in the fall of 2018. 
      Andrew was full of life and positive spirit.  His charisma was contagious.  A friend to everyone, 
      Andrew had a way of making everyone feel good about themselves, and he had a knack of bringing 
      people together.  He consistently demonstrated his compassion and care for others on a daily basis 
      and would frequently give up something of himself for the benefit of others.   
      Andrew’s passion and zest for life was unrelenting, and he never wanted to waste a moment.  He 
      loved music, scouting, painting, skiing, hiking, dancing and travelling, but most of all he loved 
      aviation.  Ever since he could walk, Andrew dreamed that one day he would become a pilot and had 
      already taken his first flight lesson by the summer of 2018.  Andrew was a dreamer who lived his life 
      to the fullest, and we are looking for a candidate who embodies these qualities.  
      The student candidate for this award should be able to demonstrate qualities of kindness, care, 
      selflessness, and a concern for others including a commitment to the community, their education and 
      a strong desire to experience an impactful life.
