APRIL ANNE BOSS
SCHOLARSHIP
April Anne Boss graduated from Reeths-Puffer High School in 1997. She was active in the choir and in many church related activities as she completed her high school years.
April chose to attend Muskegon Community College after high school. She loved children and wanted to make a difference in their lives by pursuing a teaching degree in Elementary Education.
April was a loving daughter, sister and friend. She was always willing to share a hug with people she loved and friends she knew. Her parents would like her to be remembered and honored in a special way; therefore, they have established the April Anne Boss Scholarship in loving memory of their daughter. Their wish is to help future Reeths-Puffer graduates as they pursue a college degree.

BACKGROUND:
The Rocket Scholars Foundation began as a question: "How can we increase the number of students who challenge themselves to higher academic achievement?" After forming a committee of Reeths-Puffer Alumni and parents, it was decided that a scholarship foundation for students would be a commendable investment for all Reeths-Puffer students today and in the future.
BELIEF STATEMENT:
High Academic achievement should be the goal of each student's education. Scholarships rewarding these efforts will foster a culture of rigorous classroom experiences with high academic expectations.
DONOR LEVELS:
Rocket Fellowship - $10,000
Rocket Scholar of Academic Achievement - $5,000
Rocket Scholar of Wisdom - $3,750
Rocket Scholar of Education - $2,500

Lindsey Bos, 2018 Graduate - "The Rocket Scholars Scholarship has contributed to bringing me financial stability for my first year of college. Instead of having a job for my first semester, I was able to focus on my classes and continuing with extracurriculars. Some scholarships may seem insignificant when you're comparing them to the sticker price of a university, but they add up quidkly! Take advantage of the numerous scholarships Reeths-Puffer has to offer, you've earned them! Go Rockets!"
Kate Uganski, 2016 Graduate - "I am currently a Junior at Notre Dame, pursuing a degree in Neuroscience and Behavior and have recently returned
from a semester abroad in London, England. This scholarship allowed me to enter my freshman year of college with a minimal debt and the calming idea that members of the Reeths-Puffer community had faith that I would succeed in my college endeavors. Not only has this scholarship taken some of the monetary stresses off of my family's plate, but it consistently reminds me that I am supported by members of my community back home. This support has allowed me to pursue my passions and has encouraged me through challenging times. I am forever grateful for this gift, and I hope it continues to help other Rockets in their post high-school adventures. Thank you again for this gift and all of the successes that have stemmed from it.
