The Thomas K. Evans Memorial Scholarship is a merit- and need-based one-time gift for new college entrants pursuing education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The scholarship was founded in 2017 to encourage bright, creative young people to achieve and excel in these important disciplines to change the world for the better. Named for the creative, generous engineer who founded American Power Systems, Inc., every year, the scholarship awards one local Quad-Cities student $5,000 to pursue their education.
The funder(s) of the Thomas K. Evans Memorial Scholarship, at their sole discretion, reserve the right to award more than one scholarship and/or to increase the amount of any scholarship without prior notice of any kind.
UPDATE: Congratulations to 2023 winner, Davenport North High School senior Landen Freeman!
