Scholarships

The KVIS awards scholarships each year to Ken-Ton undergraduate college students. The Christopher and Frederick Sachs Scholarship and the Kim Tippett Memorial Scholarship.  

Christopher and Frederick Sachs Scholarship


​Christopher Sachs was a Financial Advisor for Edward Jones Investment Services in the Village of Kenmore. He was a giant of a man, literally tall in body with a large and generous spirit. Chris died at a time of beginnings in his life; he had opened the Edward Jones business and was about to begin married life with his bride and stepson. Chris was a veteran of war and was the much loved Treasurer to the Kenmore Village Improvement Society.
​
​Frederick Sachs is Chris Sachs’ father. He is a Distinguished Professor of Biophysics in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University at Buffalo. Dr. Sachs is the name sake of the well known ‘Sachs Lab’ at UB, where he researches mechanical and electrical biophysics, from molecules to organs. Frederick Sachs endows the Scholarship so that we may all continue to honor the memory of Chris through a scholarship fund bearing the names of father and son. These annual scholarships will help to further their shared love of life and learning. Because of Frederick’s generosity and great love for his child, the KVIS will be able to award scholarships to young people seeking an undergraduate college education.

​KIM TIPPETT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Picture
Kim Tippett was a member of the KVIS Board of Directors as well as our PR Coordinator for many years. Kim was a person of the greatest integrity who helped make the world, especially our Ken-Ton community, a better place in so many ways. She was a graduate of Mount St. Mary Academy and Canisius College, working on The Griffin newspaper, then for the Tonawanda News, and other publications. Kim died of metastatic breast cancer at the age of 33. We can never replace her in our hearts, or in the many positive ways she contributed to the KVIS and our community.  To honor Kim, we have started a scholarship in her memory. The funds donated by the KVIS and friends like you, will enable us to annually award a student who is planning to study writing/journalism. If you would like to contribute to the Kim Tippett Scholarship fund, please see our donation page here: https://www.villageofkenmore.com/make-a-donation.html  Click the link below for the application.​

"Thanks again for selecting me for the Christopher and Frederick Sachs Scholarship!  It is an honor to be selected and I look forward to giving back to the organization and the Village of Kenmore in the future.  This Scholarship will help pay for some of my textbooks next year, so I am very grateful.  Once again, thank you!'  -Spencer Gates
