This unrestricted fund was created by Florence Tidholm in loving memory of her husband.

Earl Tidholm (1914-1993) was born in Chicago, Illinois.  He attended Valparaiso High School, Valparaiso University Night School and the Lincoln Institute.

In 1946, he joined the Stephens-Adamson Company in Aurora after having worked at McGill Manufacturing Company in Indiana.

He later became plant superintendent at Sealmaster in Aurora.

Mr. Tidholm was active in several community and professional organizations.

Florence Tidholm (1916-2010) was born in Warsaw, Indiana.

She was associated with Lyon Metal Products, Inc. for many years.

She and her husband were the parents of two children, Robert and Virginia.

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!

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

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.

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

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.

…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.
