The Edger C. Seitz, Jr/Scott A. Seitz Endowed Scholarship Fund
In February of 1999, an initial gift of $57,000 was given to the Lawrence Township School Foundation to establish the Scott Alexander Seitz Endowed Scholarship Fund. This gift was given by the Seitz-Owings Foundation at the direction of the Seitz family to pay tribute to the memory of the grandson of Edger C. Seitz Jr. and the son of Edger C. Seitz III. The intent of this endowed fund is to provide scholarship monies for graduating seniors, whose intent is to concentrate their studies in a healthcare field (RN, MD, physical therapist, etc.). The scholarship is a renewable scholarship in the amount of $1,000 or more.
Since the establishment additional gifts have been given, with the largest gift of $73,700 being given in October, 2002. With this latest contribution comes another change. The fund will now carry the name Edger C. Seitz/Scott A. Seitz Endowed Fund to pay tribute to Scott and his grandfather, who passed away since the original gift was made. The Edger C. Seitz Jr. family has lived in Lawrence Township for many years, and Edger and Joan’s three sons have all graduated from Lawrence Central High School. The Foundation and the district appreciate the difference that the Seitz family has made and continues to make in the lives of Lawrence Township students and their futures!

Mr. Dwaine Bell, teacher and coach in Lawrence Township schools for 25 years, succumbed to cancer after a very courageous battle in 1983. Mr. Bell was a man who had a positive and genuine effect on the lives of the many who were privileged to know him.
In late spring of 1986, Dr. James Teter, a protégé of Dwaine Bell's contributed $500.00 to the Foundation to fund the first annual Dwaine Bell Memorial Scholarship Award at Lawrence Central and Lawrence North High School. Dr. Teter and the Foundation felt the name and impact of Dwaine Bell on Lawrence Township should be immortalized. To perpetuate his memory, the Foundation established this annual scholarship award to be presented to students who meet the following criteria:
1. Positive mental attitude
2. Athletic achievements
3. Overcoming a hardship
4. Academic Achievements and activities - both in and out of school
This scholarship fund was expanded through proceeds of the Victory Bell Dinner, which honored senior football players, managers and cheerleaders. A traveling trophy is presented each year to the winner of the Victory Bell Game, the Lawrence Central/Lawrence North football game. The Foundation still honors Dwaine Bell at the Victory Bell game. Thanks to significant donations from Dwaine's son, Jeff and his wife, Patricia, they will ensure that his father's legacy continues.
The Dwaine Bell Memorial Scholarhip awards four $500 scholarships each year.

It is with deepest sympathy that we begin…..
Kristan Wilson was a fun-loving, talented, athletic, intelligent, beautiful girl whose time with us was too short! She was a graduate of Lawrence Central in 2002, who distinguished herself as a Top 30 student, an exceptional soccer player (4 year letterman), and an incredibly warm and vivacious individual! She attended Oaklandon, Amy Beverland and Belzer Middle School, and had just completed her sophomore year as a psychology/pre-med student at The University of Memphis enjoying an academic/ athletic (soccer) scholarship.
In response to their loss, Kristan’s family, Mike, Kim and Lindsay, created a scholarship fund at the Foundation in Kristan’s name. The "Kristan Wilson Scholarship" will be given annually through the Lawrence Township School Foundation to honor the memory of Kristan’s zest for life, high academic achievement, and outstanding athletic participation. It will pay tribute to the positive achievements and integrity she and her family have displayed throughout their committed service to MSDLT and to the Lawrence Community.
The award will be presented to a deserving Lawrence Township High School graduate(s) who has exhibited outstanding academic achievement, exceptional athletic involvement and good character and citizenship.
