Todd Beasley Memorial Scholarship
Todd Beasley (1975-2003) graduated from Louisburg High School in 1993. He was an above-average student, though by his own admission, he could have done better! He was active in various sports, plays, and school-related activities, which by his own admission, took far more of his time than did his academic endeavors! During his four high school years, Todd enjoyed every aspect of his LHS experience. He made the most of opportunities and enjoyed his life to the fullest.
During high school, Todd worked for Ed Arnett Construction where he decided his goal in life would be in the field of construction. He received the Kenny Arnett scholarship to help further his education in that field. After graduation from LHS, Todd attended Kansas State where he was active in the Sigma Nu Fraternity and other campus activities. He graduated with a degree in Construction Science in 1999. After graduation, he went to work for Pulte Homes of Greater Kansas City. He loved his job with Pulte and was named Superintendent of the Year for the greater KC area in 2000. He was married to Julie in 1999, and they became parents of Tate Alan in 2001. Todd’s battle with cancer began in 1999. He fought with determination and without complaint, but victory was not to be.
The purpose of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance to a deserving young man or woman who graduates from Louisburg High School and who will be attending Kansas State University. Preference will be given to a student who plans to major in Construction Science, but it will not be the only consideration. Consideration will be on a well-rounded student, in good academic standing. Financial need will be considered, but will not be the main factor.
Applications must be received by the selection committee through the LHS Guidance Office by April 1st. The selection committee will be made up of 2 LHS teachers and the guidance office. Applicants shall include, with the completed application form, the required essay, an official LHS transcript, and a personal resume. An award of up to $1000.00 will be dispersed to the recipient upon proof of K-State University enrollment. Two alternates will be selected. If the winner of the scholarship does not meet the requirements, the money will go to the 1st alternate, then, if necessary, to the 2nd alternate.
