This Memorial Scholarship was created in 2008 by Richard and Evelyn Herboldsheimer in honor the life of Richard's father, Hubert and was amended in 2010 in memory of Richard's mother, Luella who joined him.
Hubert was community minded and served in many ways. In 1968, he was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Northeastern Junior College Governing Board and was reelected to serve in that position for nine years. He was also appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees of the newly formed Northeastern Junior College Foundation where he served three terms. In later years a dorm "Herbie" Hall was named honoring Hubert for his many years of service to NJC.
This scholarship aims to assist LPN students of the NJC nursing program in honor of the love and care Hubert received from his nurses at Devonshire Acres in Sterling in his last few years of life.
Richard and Evelyn are proud supporters of Northeastern Junior College and attend every event they can. Richard happily recalls the year he studied at Northeastern Junior College. Most notably, the grace NJC's Roy Edwards showed to him during a difficult time in his life and Roy reminding Richard that each day is a gift and never promised. Richard spent many years as a dedicated math tutor and Evelyn a school attendance clerk, they both understand the value a good education has and the impact that instructors make in student's lives.
