| Officers of Fifth Third Bank, Central Kentucky, recently presented
a check to Berea College for $14,500, part of a $58,000 grant
from the Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Fund of Cincinnati for the
support of Cincinnati area women who attend the College.
The grant, received over a four-year period beginning in 1999,
has contributed $14,500 toward a cost of education scholarship
for a female student of Appalachian background each of the
four years.
The Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Fund was created in
1908 by a gift from Jacob C. Schmidlapp in memory of his
daughter, Charlotte,
who died in an auto accident at age 19. Grants from the Fund
are restricted to helping women establish themselves in life.
