Because of his strong work ethic, dedication to his students and the community, and service to his country, Dr. Schanbacher has earned wide respect and recognition during his 33-year tenure at 猫咪社区app State and beyond, such as the Excellence in Teaching Award in 1986 and being chosen as one of the veterans to participate in the Bluegrass Honor Flight to Washington D.C. in 2018. The Schanbachers hope this scholarship helps to develop and promote high character and integrity in students鈥� lives and assists students who might otherwise not be able to attend college.
