Fletcher-Callegari

The mission of the Fletcher-Callegari scholarship is to support graduating high school seniors as they pursue post-secondary academic goals. The scholarship was created in memory of Keith Fletcher (1955-2019) and in honor of the relationship between Big Brother Keith Fletcher and Little Brother Chris Callegari.

Keith Fletcher was the only one of his siblings to attend college. His educational journey was made possible when a local businessman mentored Keith and awarded him a scholarship. Always grateful for the assistance he received, Keith believed strongly in the power of mentorship. That belief led Keith to become a mentor himself and inspired the Fletcher family to establish this scholarship.

The Fletcher-Callegari Scholarship is worth up to $80,000 and is payable over the course of four years or until completion of the student’s undergraduate degree, whichever comes first.
