This fund was created to administer an unrestricted bequest from the estate of Robert Mukensturm.

Mr. Mukensturm (1920-2004) was born in Deerfield, Michigan.  He graduated from the Alexian School of Nursing in 1942.

He then served in the United States Navy.  Following his discharge from the Navy in 1951, he worked for the Aruba-Standard Oil Company.

Mr. Mukensturm subsequently became associated with St. Charles Hospital in Aurora for ten years as a nurse anesthetist.

He then joined the practice of Gillette, Starshak and Colletti at the Aurora Dental Arts Clinic where he remained for twenty-five years.

He was a member of the Aurora Turner’s Club, Amvets Post 103 and the Yorkville American Legion Post 489.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.
