Dr. Bill, as he was affectionately known, practiced family medicine in the Greater Kansas City area all of his working life. His burning desire was to reward those special people who had administered to him by setting up this program to offer monetary assistance to their children. The purpose of the Helen Anita and William E. Evans, Jr., M.D. Scholarship Fund shall be to provide scholarships to the children of employees at the Kansas City VA Medical Center who plan to attend vocational school. Applicants must have a parent or legal guardian who currently works at the Kansas City VA Medical Center who has worked in his/her current position a minimum of 30 hours per week for at least one year; and plan to or currently be enrolled in a vocational school. Consideration will be given to an applicant's financial need, extracurricular involvement, and past academic performance. There is not an age requirement for vocational school applicants. Scholarship recipients are required to submit a written reflection following the completion of the vocational program, which describes his/her experiences and specifically details what the recipient learned from this opportunity. Previous applicants and past recipients of the scholarship may reapply each year. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for more information.
