Sayings about opportunity abound in all languages, in all cultures, in all eras. Ancient Romans coined the phrase “carpe diem.” Seize the day. Some opportunities are discovered and pursued. Some are missed. Others are created. Others are the result of people who provide them for others. The Wabash Valley Community Foundation offers three opportunities for donors to establish endowed scholarships for higher education: Discretionary, Designated and Advised. All three are designed to open doors for deserving students. Community Foundation staff assists potential donors in creating the kind of fund that best supports their goals. Designated scholarships are paid through the educational institution to students who are selected by the school, often to students within a specific department designated by the donor. They can be custom designed to suit a donors wishes. The Charles F. and Nancy A. Bradford Scholarship Fund provides support for a senior student studying accounting at the Scott College of Business at Indiana State University. The Fund is specifically intended for students who live in, and went to high school in Clay, Parke, Sullivan, Vermillion or Vigo counties in Indiana.

Mark Bradford, whose parents provide the name for the fund, said his family wanted to do something to honor the legacy of Charles, who retired as President of Sackrider & Company in 1996. “My mom really spearheaded it,” Mark said. “She was the driving force.” The family chose Indiana State University because of their long connection to it. Charles and Nancy were both active in the community throughout their professional lives. Nancy, Mark and his sister Susan are graduates of the College of Business. “We’re big fans of the School of Business,” Mark said. C O N T I N U ED O N pag e 2 >
