Under her Last Will and Testament, Teresa Treat Stearns established a trust the income of which is to be used for the good of the community of Webster City, and vicinity for the purpose of benefiting such needy persons, families, organizations, associations, or groups as the Trustee determines should receive assistance. In particular, the Will provides that the Trustee may grant assistance for the purposes including scholarships, as well as grants to organizations with charitable, religious, or educational purposes.

GreenState Trust Services and the Advisory Trustees will be meeting later this spring to award scholarships for the 2022-2023 school year and to consider other grant requests. The Trust Scholarship is available to graduates of Webster City High School who will be attending any major accredited college, university, vocational school, or school of nursing. Students, who are in the junior or senior year of college, or second year of a two-year vocational program, will be given priority. Applications for the scholarship may be picked up at GreenState Credit Union, Fort Dodge. Applications may also be requested via phone or email. Applications must be turned in to GreenState Trust Services, 1207 Central Ave, Fort Dodge, IA 50501 by May 20, 2022. (Applications received after that date will not be considered.) Grant requests from organizations with charitable, religious, or educational purposes should include a description of the project/program for which funding is requested, a detailed budget for the project/program, identification of how many individuals will be served through the project/program and listing of other funding sources for the project/program. To be considered this spring, grant requests must be submitted to GreenState Trust Services, Fort Dodge by May 20, 2022.

Any questions regarding the scholarships or grants should be directed to Jessica Davie at GreenState Trust Services 515-955-0603, or email JessicaDavie@greenstate.org
