This scholarship was established by the Gilbert Sechrist Family Trust in 2000, in memory of Barbara Klockziem (1944-1989) and in honor of Dr. Roger Klockziem, who served as a professor at (D)MLC from 1979 to 2015, most recently in the math/science division. The purpose of the scholarship is to recognize students who have demonstrated faithfulness in multiple areas while on the MLC campus. God blessed Barbara with a desire and ability for faithfulness in her roles as a student at DMLC (1966), as a teacher at two Lutheran schools, as a mother of five children, and as a supporting wife to Roger. Scholarship winners are secondary math or science education majors in their sophomore, junior, senior, or fifth year who have a GPA of 2.75 or better and who demonstrate potential for service in the teaching ministry and broad participation in the campus community. Financial need may be a factor.
