Staples, Elizabeth (Betsy) Walker '51 World of Opportunity Scholarship

The Elizabeth (Betsy) Walker Staples ‘51 World of Opportunity Scholarship provides financial assistance and recognition to promising students with financial need enrolled at Keene State College. Learning, teaching, doing for, and giving back to others were the core tenets that guided Betsy’s life. A lifelong learner and voracious reader, these principles served to enrich Betsy through a career that included teaching and a lifetime of volunteer service. David B. Staples ‘55 M’60 created this scholarship to celebrate the extraordinary life of his late wife, Betsy, and to provide financial support and recognition to students so that they may earn a Keene State College degree and go on to experience a “world of opportunity.”
