Jim Burkhart was a lifelong resident of Delaware County. He and his wife Dorie raised two daughters who are Big Walnut graduates.

When those daughters went to college, Jim recognized how available scholarships helped make college more affordable so he was happy for the opportunity to serve as a founding member of the Big Walnut Education Foundation.

He was especially proud that the foundation offered scholarships in categories with varying emphasis on grades, activities, community involvement, and need.

The Burkhart Family is honored to offer this scholarship in Jim’s memory.
