Clarence and Kathleen Spangenberger Memorial Scholarship

Bill and Kay Spangenberger were generous, community-minded individuals who firmly believed in the value of education. Mr. Spangenberger, a Kingston native, left Standard Oil in 1933 to join the Cornell Steamboat Company in the accounts receivable department. In 1954, he became head of the company. He retired in 1975 at the age of 70. Mrs. Spangenberger also worked for several different companies, including Harper Collins. After retirement, they travelled around the world including to India and Australia. In accordance with their bequest, the Clarence and Kathleen Spangenberger memorial scholarship will be awarded to entering, returning or transferring students who are residents of Ulster County.
