Since 2001
The Four Chaplains' Scholarship
A living tribute to Rabbi Alexander D. Goode: helping York City students build a future of service to others.
About the scholarship
Rooted in Rabbi Goode's ideals
Rabbi Alexander D. Goode worked to build York's interfaith community and helped lay the groundwork for York's first racially integrated Boy Scout troop. The Alexander D. Goode Elementary School in the York City School District is a living memorial to him and to his ideals.
The Four Chaplains' Scholarship was established in 2001 from the proceeds of the Four Chaplains' Prayer Breakfast. Ten years later, through the efforts of David Meckley, five York residents created an Endowment Fund at the York County Community Foundation so a scholarship can be awarded every year, forever, to a student who attended Alexander D. Goode Elementary School and graduated from William Penn Senior High School.
