The
Cody-DeVries Family Fund Scholarship
Established
March 13, 2001
By Jane
and Henry DeVries
As one of the
organizers and a trustee of the Woodbury Scholarship Fund since
1975, it was important for Henry DeVries to contribute to the
fund in a tangible way.
Henry and his wife, Jane,
established the Cody-DeVries Scholarship to honor the memory of
both of their mothers and fathers,
who were strong supporters of higher education for their
children, even though Jane's mother and Henry's parents did not
have the opportunity to attend college themselves.
In turn, Jane and Henry encouraged and supported their own
children to strive for the very best education they could
achieve. Scholarship and motivation
were considered equally important. The Cody-DeVries Family
Scholarship selection criteria allows for a scholarship to be
awarded to a motivated student who might otherwise be
overlooked by conventional class rank or career choice criteria.
Over the years, the Cody-DeVries Family Fund Scholarship has
achieved this objective.
