The Mercer Island PTA Council is currently accepting applications through May 31 for the Nancy Schaps Memorial Grant. Until her death from cancer in 1996, Schaps was an active supporter of Mercer Island’s children.

The grant was established in memory of Schaps by her family and the community, and has been given annually since 1996 to more than 50 recipients. Consistent with Schaps’ wishes, the grant recognizes a Mercer Island child who has suffered the death of a parent, who are currently experiencing the terminal illness of a parent, or who has a parent serving on active duty with the military, including Ukrainian refugees whose parents are serving with the military overseas.

A grant award of up to $500 will be given to an elementary, middle or high school student to be used for an activity or other purpose that will aid a child or youth’s adjustment to this difficult life change.
