HAPPY AMY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Each spring Professor Kieper requires her speech class to undertake a community service project. One class decided to create a scholarship in tribute to Amy Feliciano, a former RVC employee, who had a great passion for her community and everyone in it. All who met Amy could feel her warmth. Amy always had a smile and went out of her way to help those she met. She did this despite the challenge of having a debilitating, painful disease that progressed to the point that she finally had to stop working. Soon after, Amy was killed in a fiery car accident at the age of 36.

The Happy Amy Scholarship will not only assist students in need, but will also recognize those students who have a positive impact on those around them. passion for their community and the people in it.
