Please donate to the Dr. Barry Groves Scholarship

"I cannot image a better retirement gift than helping more district students realize their college dreams."
- Barry Groves

MVLA Scholars is creating a renewable, multi-year college scholarship for local youth to honor Dr. Groves, retiring Superintendent of the MVLA High School District, for his tireless enthusiasm in building an award-winning school district.
 
The Barry Groves Scholarship will be awarded to local seniors accepted into the MVLA Scholars program who have made outstanding contributions to their school and/or community.
 
Barry is a long-time supporter of MVLA Scholars, a group that has raised funds and managed multi-year college scholarships for over 250 local high-achieving, low-income students.


Begin your voyage in beautiful Budapest and sail westward through breathtaking scenery and picturesque towns.  Enjoy guided tours of magical Vienna, Passau, and medieval Regensburg.  Stroll the charming town of Dürnstein and see the baroque wonder Stiftskirche and the awe-inspiring Benedictine Abbey in Melk.  Your luxury cruise will conclude in historic Nuremberg where you will start for home with marvelous memories made.
