About This Scholarship

The Balcueva Family Memorial Scholarship was created in 1998 in honor of Edgar and Mary Jane Balcueva’s four infant sons, Eddie, Randy, Brad, and Rick, who passed away from a rare congenital heart defect. Students who are enrolled full-time and pursuing a degree in environmental sciences are eligible for the Balcueva Family Memorial Scholarship. Applicants must be Saginaw County residents, be in their senior year of high school or be enrolled in college, and have a 3.0 GPA.
