Restaurant Revolution Technologies CEO David Schofield Completes Fourth Year as Executive Director of Jon Henderson Memorial Scholarship
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2014 -- The Jon Henderson Memorial Scholarship is pleased to announce that eight students hailing from Southern California region universities with active Kappa Sigma fraternity chapters and colonies have been awarded scholarships for the 2013-2014 school year. This marks the first year in its brief four year history that the maximum number of scholarships, eight, have been awarded.
“We are thrilled to be giving out the maximum number of awards for the maximum amount of $2,500 per brother totaling $20,000 in scholarships,” stated David Schofield, Executive Director of the Jon Henderson Memorial Scholarship and CEO of Restaurant Revolution Technologies, Inc. “This is a landmark philanthropic achievement for the scholarship, and it continues to augment the legacy of Jon’s love for the Kappa Sigma fraternity and it’s brotherhood.”
This year’s award winners are: Adam Brunette, Christopher Smoot of California State University, Long Beach; John McGrory, Kirk Sasaki of San Diego State University; Nafi Karim, Ryan Torrento and Steven Wong of University of California, Riverside; and Michael Johnston of University of Southern California.
Each award winner was selected from a pool of Southern California region undergraduate and graduate student applicants based on their academic achievements, community service accomplishments, work experience and leadership involvement within their local chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. All submissions were weighted and scored by a panel of judges led by Brother Schofield for award recommendation regulated by the San Diego Foundation.
The Jon Henderson Memorial Scholarship was founded in 2010 by Brothers David Schofield and Dieter Baier, at the behest of the last will and testament of fellow Kappa Sigma brother Jon Henderson following his death resulting from a near nine year battle with cancer. Jon’s vision was to provide financial resources and support for students of the Kappa Sigma fraternity who clearly display the leadership and academic qualities that are part of the core essence of being in the fraternity and for their families who need some assistance.
Since its inception, the Jon Henderson Memorial Scholarship has partnered with the San Diego Foundation whose sole purpose is to promote and increase effective and responsible charitable giving and manages more than $636 million in assets. During the first three years of the partnership, four scholarships were awarded. With this year’s group of eight recipients, the total number of students receiving awards since its inception is twelve totaling $30,000.
