Patrick B. Harper Scholarship Foundation Patrick B. Our mission is to provide $1500 scholarships to School District 155 high school students. About Patrick B. However, Pat’s heart was always with family.

Harper Scholarship Foundation provides scholarship opportunities to students who have overcome some adversity in their life & will be attending college. Harper

Patrick was a believer in family, first and foremost. Patrick (Pat) was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 13 years old. Even though his epilepsy was a lifelong condition, Pat never let it define him. He went on to be a star athlete in hi

gh school and graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. Always an Entrepreneur, he started his own business in 1993 and built it to become a very successful insurance agency. He was a sports expert, WWII historian and a voracious reader. Family was his most important priority. Coaching his son, Kyle, was Pat’s greatest pleasure. From little league baseball to basketball and most of all Crystal Lake Raider’s football, Pat was always encouraging children to do their best. After every game, Pat had the same question, “Did you have fun today?” No matter the score, his aim was to instill a love of the sport and a work ethic that would last a lifetime. This Foundation was proudly formed to honor Pat’s memory and provide opportunities to aspiring young people just as he was so passionate about doing during his life.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2025 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

The Board was honored to present the awards to this year’s Scholarship winners on the evening of May 7, 2025 to Fiorella Sangabriel Lopez and Sunny Tomberlin at Crystal Lake South High School. Both of these Seniors embody what our Foundation represents.

Fiorella will be attending McHenry County College in the Fall. She will be pursing a Biomedical Engineering degree.

“I want to become a biomedical engineer to create innovative solutions. I want to create solutions for people who often feel overlooked and lose hope in their healthcare journey. I intend to bridge the gap between hope and healing, resulting in making a meaningful impact on the lives of those who need it most.”

Sunny will be attending University of Illinois- Champaign in the Fall. Sunny’s field of study is Aerospace Engineering.

“I chose this major because I’ve always had a fascination with space and I hope to one day be an Aerospace Engineer at Nasa!”

We look forward to all the great accomplishments that lay ahead for them both.
