Kirschbaum-Fitzsimmons Scott County Democrats Scholarship available
Kathy Kirschbaum
The Scott County, Iowa, Democratic Party is excited to announce the availability of the Kirschbaum-Fitzsimmons Scott County Democrats Scholarship. This scholarship honors the lives of two of the county's best known and best loved elected officials.
Kathy Kirschbaum and Karen Fitzsimmons were extraordinary women whose hard work, perseverance, dedication to fairness, and progressive actions inspired others. Kathy served as the first female mayor of Davenport and Karen as the first female auditor of the county.
Karen Fitzsimmons
In that light, the Democrats of Scott County, Iowa, have chosen to honor Kathy and Karen by offering a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior from a Scott County high school in the academic year of 2025-2026. This student must be accepted for initial enrollment in an accredited post-secondary educational program in the United States for the academic year 2026-2027. Eligible programs include 4-year colleges, community colleges, vocational, technical, trade schools, and union apprenticeships.
The application packet must be submitted to the scholarship committee by U.S. mail.
The submission postmark deadline is March 16, 2026.
The Need Is Great and Growing by the Day
Supporting Local Families in Our Community
Food insecurity remains a pressing challenge for many families in our community, and the need for support is increasing rapidly. It is up to each of us to step forward and make a meaningful difference.
This month's Charitable Initiative is partnering with River Bend Food Bank to host a Community Hunger Drive. We have set a goal of $5,000 which will provide 25,000 meals.
Now, more than ever, our collective efforts are essential. By coming together as a community, we can help ensure that local families have access to the resources they need to thrive. No contribution is too small.
Besides financial support, the River Bend Food Bank has reached out with an urgent request for help. Their NorthPark Mall Food Pantry is currently experiencing an overwhelming demand not seen since the pandemic. Volunteers are needed to ensure that families and individuals facing food insecurity receive the support and resources they need.
Click HERE to view availability at their NorthPark Mall Food Pantry.
The pantry has volunteer shifts on Mondays, from 1-3:45 p.m. and 3:30-6:30 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 9-11:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.- 2 p.m. You can sign up as a team or individually. Thanks in advance for supporting our community in this time of need!
