LEBANON, PA — The leadership team Arthur Funk & Sons, Inc., Construction Services, recently announced the two students awarded the Henry Funk Memorial Scholarship. The students are Matthew Brown, a senior at a Lebanon High School, and Matthew Leedy, a senior at Cedar Crest High School.

According to Ken Funk, Vice President and Project Manager, each Senior will receive $1,000 toward their continuing education as they pursue an occupation in the construction trades.

“The scholarship was named in honor of our father Henry Funk,” said Funk, speaking on behalf of his brothers, Bob Funk and Dave Funk. “Henry Funk was a steward of the community who believed in returning many of the gifts that he received in order to help others. His vision was always to provide high quality construction that leaves a legacy in the community. This scholarship continues that vision to assist others in achieving their goals for the future.”
