The Brian A. Kelley Memorial Scholarship is a $1,000 award and is presented on behalf of the Kelley Family Charitable Foundation. Brian’s legacy was built on his extraordinary compassion and generosity, touching numerous lives in his community through countless acts of kindness. Brian loved supporting local youth sports and being an alumnus of Bradford High School. When he faced his first heart attack, we rallied around him, knowing the road to recovery would be long and challenging. Despite his remarkable resilience, Brian was soon diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Though he fought with unwavering courage, he ultimately succumbed to the disease. In tribute to his determined spirit and selflessness, we established the Brian A. Kelley Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship honors Brian’s memory by recognizing an individual who embodies strength, kindness, and a commitment to serving their community, inspiring others to follow in his footsteps.

Collette spent her career in the medical field providing top quality care to her patients. Collette lived her life with a true spirit of kindness guiding her way. She was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother who passed her gentle love and kindness to all that she met. Collette also had an affinity for taking photos. A hobby that she truly loved. This scholarship should go to a student who exemplifies the spirit of kindness. Students should apply if they feel that they demonstrate kindness in all aspects of their lives, as Collette did throughout all of her days. .
