Building leadership requires us to be mindful of the future, preparing the next generation. It also demands that we embrace the lessons learned from our experience and history. As we look to our future and the next generation of leaders, we are proud to announce the establishment of a new program created to help develop those leaders – the Founders Memorial Scholarship Program, in honor of our first Amway Independent Business Owners, Jere and Eileen Dutt, Fred and Bernice Hansen, and Joe and Helyne Victor. These IBOs were pioneers. They were also visionaries, leaders, mentors and friends. They played a unique role in our business and leave behind an amazing legacy, one that we see in each generation of new Amway leaders. Their names and leadership are legendary. Their influence, enormous. More than 50 years after they started their Amway businesses, we see the impact of their work and leadership in the lives of their families and of every IBO who embraces the Amway opportunity as a way to reach his or her own American dream. In honor of their contributions, we proudly announce the establishment of this program. Three scholarships: the Jere and Eileen Dutt Memorial Scholarship, the Fred and Bernice Hansen Memorial Scholarship, and the Joe and Helyne Victor Memorial Scholarship each in the amount of $5000, will be awarded annually, to IBOs and their children. Each one is a lasting testament to our founding families… and a nod to the leaders of tomorrow. The Founders Memorial Scholarship Program is open to IBOs (and their children) throughout North America and the Caribbean who are registered students at a community college, an accredited four-year institution, or in graduate-level program. A complete set of entry guidelines follow: The Founders’ Fundamentals – Freedom, Family, Hope and Reward – were set forth by Amway’s founders, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel more than 50 years ago. To Rich and Jay, these were more than words. They were the beliefs they built their business on. They were the values considered in every decision they made, every action they took. Today, these four principles remain the foundation of the Amway business and an important part of the values and principles Amway provides to Independent Business Owners everywhere. Think about each: Freedom – to pursue your own dreams, to work hard and grow. Family – yours and the global Amway family, a network of diverse people to provide support and encouragement. Hope – for a life lived the way you want to live it; for your and others’ personal and professional success. Reward – for lifting up another, because when he wins, so do you; for achieving success and helping others do the same Select one of the Fundamentals and share a personal story of leadership developed around it. As an example: How did your belief in Freedom of personal choice and achievement enable you to make a difference in the lives of those around you – family, friends, neighbors or fellow students? Or, how did you offer meaningful support and encouragement to someone in your Family that allowed them to achieve personal growth and success. How has your Hope for your own or another’s success helped to shape an outcome? Or, how has your support of another person’s drive to succeed, helped you become successful? How have you been Rewarded for helping others succeed? Tell us your leadership story, in 350 words or less, using the electronic form, below. An independent panel of judges will evaluate the entries and select the finalists. The top three finalists will receive one of three Founders Scholarships in the amount of $5000.
