2016 Ripodas scholarships Mr. Jack Kowskie has generously offered five scholarships this year in memory of his
late in-laws and his late wife:
The Ripodas Scholarships
Three $1,000 scholarships in memory of Jack Kowskie's
in-laws, Miguel and Cecilia Ripodas and Bartolome Rip-
odas. Miguel and Bartolome came from the town of
Zabaltza, Nafarroa and Cecilia from Irunberri
(Lumbier), Nafarroa. They came to the United States,
worked hard, and despite the language barriers created
a successful life for themselves and their family. No one
is guaranteed anything other than an opportunity. Take
your ideas, work hard, and stay focused towards your
goal.
Miguel and Cecilia Ripodas
The Angelita (Ripodas) Kowskie Scholarship
Two $1,000 scholarships in memory of Jack Kowskie's wife Angelita who passed away earlier this year.
They met in 1939 and were married for 74 years. She was one of four sisters of immigrant parents from
Nafarroa. Jack and Angelita frequented the Basque Cultural Center with their family for many years enjoy-
ing the culture, friendship and good food. Like her parents, Angelita inherited their value of hard work and
now Jack would like to contribute this scholarship to deserving students.
If you are currently attending college (or another post high-school program), you are eligible to apply.
Winners will receive one of five $1,000 scholarships.

Film Festival.
