Steinert-Kruger Endowed Scholarship

The Steinert-Kruger Endowed Scholarship was established in 1975 with a gift of 120 acres of land located in Kern County by Marvin and Nadene Steinert. This endowed scholarship was established in honor of Edward Kruger (the father of Nadene Steinert) and in honor of E. M. Steinert (the father of Marvin Steinert). Marvin and Nadene have been deeply committed to Christian higher education evidenced by their substantial investment of time and finances in Fresno Pacific College, now known as Fresno Pacific University.

Marvin Steinert served on the university Board of Trustees for many years, serving as chairman and treasurer and on the Gym Steering Committee, which was responsible for constructing the Special Events Center.

The Steinert's have been willing to give in order to further the Kingdom of God. It is hoped that this scholarship will serve as an encouragement to develop values and commitments similar to those evidenced by the donors of this scholarship.
