Tyler Greene Award
State

As a high school student who happened to have cerebral palsy and some other challenges Tyler Greene from Waterloo, Iowa, took on a mission to educate the world about Ability Awareness. He believed that what a person, any person, can do is much more important than what he/she can’t do. For his Eagle Scout project, Tyler produced a DVD entitled I’m Tyler (Don’t Be Surprised).  “This short DVD is a fun, effective introduction to the concept of Ability Awareness for teachers, administrators, youth leaders, or anyone who is around a lot of kids, and cares.”  As part of his project, this DVD was distributed to all 360+ school districts in Iowa and also internationally.  

The Iowa Council of Administrators of Special Education has presented the Tyler Greene Award annually since 2007. Tyler was the first recipient of this award.  Tyler passed away in 2021, following an auto accident, and this annual award now continues in his memory. You can read more about Tyler' life here - About Tyler Greene.  The Tyler Greene Award is given to a high school senior or first-year graduate who has been identified as an individual with a disability who has done something significant in their life for themselves or others.

Linda Armstrong and Charles Keppard Scholarship
Local

Eligibility requirements for the Linda Armstrong and Charles Keppard Scholarship were chosen by Linda Armstrong in memory of her late husband Charles “Chuck” Keppard. Chuck began working as a carpenter after serving in the Navy, UDT team, for three tours in Vietnam. He later worked as a dry waller, and ultimately created his own sub-contracting construction company based in Mills County, Iowa, working for large contractors such as Kiewit and Hawkins. He built a new family home in early 2000. Three of his sons now work in the construction industry in various capacities. In his retirement, Chuck enjoyed minor remodeling projects and put his creative mind to work by making most anything from a picture and a brief conversation with Linda. He admired anyone who worked with their hands.

The Armstrong family included stone masons, brick layers, carpenters, iron workers, and general “DIY fix-it” people, dating back to Linda’s great-great-grandfather, uncles, and cousins. Linda’s grandfather laid the cornerstone of many buildings at Omaha Boys Town and worked on the twin bell towers of the beautiful St. Cecelia Cathedral when he was employed with Mainelli Construction. Linda’s brother is a finish carpenter in Colorado, designing, building, and installing custom pieces for mountain residents. He, too, built his family home in the mountains.

Of the scholarship, Linda said, “In a small way, Chuck and I wanted the future generation to know the satisfaction of seeing a finished product or building, knowing you were responsible for part or all of its creation, using your knowledge and your hands.”
