Kristen Hintz Memorial Scholarship
Kristen Hintz Memorial Scholarship
OLEAN, NY - Kristen Hintz is remembered at Ellicottville Central School.
It is hard to forget someone like her - someone who was a leader at the top of her class and a leader on the field. The Ellicottville women's soccer team won state championships in 1998 and 1999, her sophomore and junior year. She was named the team MVP and received state honors in those years. She was also the president of her class from her seventh grade year to her senior year. She also dedicated herself to community volunteering.
Kristen Hintz was a senior at Ellicottville Central School when her life was tragically cut short by an automobile accident in 2000. Her memory lives on through a scholarship to help send Ellicottville graduates on to college.
Applications for the Kristen Hintz Memorial Scholarship are now being accepted. The scholarship (two awarded for $1,000 each) is available to an Ellicottville student or students who demonstrate qualities of kindness and perseverance. Students must include an essay describing how they embody these characteristics. Students can apply at cattfoundation.org/apply-for-scholarships. Applications are due by April 1st.
