For children, grandchildren, and wards of Muscanell Millworks employees (current or past).
The Heartwood Scholarship Fund was created by Doug Muscanell and Karen Harbaugh, (former owners of Muscanell Millworks), to honor the employees who have worked hard and contributed to the success, both past and ongoing, of Muscanell Millworks, Inc. The scholarship fund is managed by our community foundation, Onward! A Legacy Foundation. Scholarship applications are reviewed and recommended by an advisory committee, including Doug and Karen.
The purpose of the scholarship is to provide some support to children, grandchildren of Muscanell Millworks’ employees who are seeking to better their lives through education after high school or GED. “Education” could include trade school, other vocational training, college, or short courses.
Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants must be the child, grandchild, or ward of a current or past employee of Muscanell Millworks, Inc., Cortez, CO. They must have obtained a high school diploma or equivalent and want to pursue further education.
Decision Criteria:
Scholarship awards will be decided based on desire to better one’s life through education/training, and availability of funds. Length of service with Muscanell Millworks of the applicant’s parent or guardian will also be a consideration. Scholarships can range from $300 to $1000 for one year. Applicants are welcome and encouraged to apply for scholarship renewal for subsequent years of education.
