Peter Linville and Brigitte Dietz-Linville Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 2014 by the family of Peter Linville and Brigitte Dietz-Linville. Peter was an outstanding mechanic and a wizard with tools and machines. He is remembered most as a loving husband to Brigitte, stepfather to Jim and Debbie, and doting grandfather to six wonderful grandchildren. Brigitte was a nurse for 24 years. She was nicknamed “one-stick” by her nursing colleagues for her ability to insert IV’s correctly the first time, no matter what. It is the intent of this scholarship to help students looking to further their careers in mechanical and automotive fields.

• Are a new incoming, first-generation college student
• Are a graduate from one of the Davenport High Schools: Assumption, Central, North, or West (highest preference given to Davenport Central grads)
• Are a non-traditional student
