"I just wanted to say thank you to your precious children for picking my daughter for the Timothy Hearld Memorial Scholarship today!! This scholarship means the world to our family.
I remember walking the halls with your incredible father in my years of high school. He was an amazing man and you are continuing his legacy with this precious gift to her (Shelby). Just know she will do big things with this gift in her USF career as a volleyball athlete and will touch many lives as a veterinarian when she completes her teaching at Purdue! Thank you again so much!"

Why it Matters
It’s easy to look around and feel like something’s been lost — the pride in hard work, the value of follow-through, the joy in helping without needing recognition. So much of life feels rushed now. Kids are busier, more online, and less connected to the kind of simple lessons that build real character.
​
This scholarship is proof that those values aren’t gone. They just need to be seen, celebrated, and passed on. Every student chosen reminds us that humility, kindness, and consistency still exist. They’re the ones who shake hands, stay late to help clean up, and make others feel like they belong.
​
That’s who Tim believed in, and who this fund continues to lift up.
Your support makes sure those kinds of young people don’t get overlooked. It tells them that integrity still matters and that there’s still honor in showing up, working hard, and doing it all with heart.​
Impact to Date
Since 2014, the Timothy D. Hearld Memorial Scholarship has raised more than $50,000 to help Columbia City graduates chase their goals and carry Tim’s values forward.
Your contribution fuels the belief that effort and joy can coexist and that good humans make great leaders.
