The Alumni Scholarship Endowment Fund was established in 1996 through the leadership of Howard Doyle '35, Robert Irving '40 and Hans "Whitey" Ohlin '40, in honor of Frederick "Moose" Nedvins '40, to provide financial assistance to deserving students based solely on need, without regard to race, religion, creed, sex or national origin.
Frederick "Moose" Nedvins, Captain of Kents Hill's undefeated Football team in 1939, worked with unstinting enthusiasm and persistence to bring Kents Hill alumni of his era together on behalf of the school. It was his dream to establish the Alumni Scholarship Fund as a way "to pay Kents Hill School back for all it did for us." Moose passed away in 1995 before the fund could be formally established, but he would be extremely pleased with the impact the Fund has made in the lives of four outstanding students during the past five years.
The initial goal is to grow the Fund to $1,000,000 ($600,000 in bequests will be received in the years ahead) to help five deserving students a year attend Kents Hill.
