Barbara Fleming, in whose honor the scholarship is made possible, a resident of Mennonite Memorial Home from 1997-2000, was trained as a nurse and throughout her life exhibited the caring nature that characterizes the profession of nursing.

Schutz plans to attend either Indiana Wesleyan University or Mount Vernon Nazarene University this fall.
