Cougar Cupboard & Student Emergency Fund

Kenneth L. Reeves Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Kenneth L. Reeves Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to support a junior or senior at Washington State University Tri-Cities (Ken’s alma mater) who is majoring in the Environmental and Ecosystems Sciences program. Ken was an avid outdoorsman and prided himself a naturalist with a great respect for nature. He hiked Mount Whitney twice, loved fishing and boating, and enjoyed studying geology. Ken was certified by the State of Washington as a Master Gardener and was active with other Master Gardeners in Tri-Cities to better some of the area’s public parks and gardens. This scholarship is intended to provide financial assistance to a student who shares his love of nature and pursue a career to helping improve and sustain the environment.
