The Kurt F. Kimball Scholarship Endowment was established to honor Kurt F. Kimball’s 20 years as the longest serving city manager of Grand Rapids. Kimball worked for Grand Rapids for more than 33 years and has lived here for more than 50; during that time, he has mentored many Grand Valley students. In celebration of his retirement, contributions from Kimball’s friends and colleagues made this scholarship possible. Kimball hopes that this scholarship will attract professionals to careers in public management and local government.
This scholarship will provide support for graduate students in the School of Public and Nonprofit
Administration pursuing careers in local government.
