John M. & Ruth E. Koenig Kamin Memorial Scholarship

John M. and Ruth E. Koenig Kamin were world travelers, who, throughout their lifetime, shared adventures on six of the seven continents! Ruth’s love of learning began as a youngster. She was born and raised in Winona, Minnesota, where she received her Bachelors degree from Winona State College, class of 1939. She then went on to receive her Masters Degree from Northwestern University in 1942. Married to John Kamin in 1945, they moved to Sterling Heights, Michigan where Ruth was employed first, as an English teacher, then later, as a guidance counselor at Centerline High School. She later held an educational position at the University of Miami. She and John were extremely well read, and they reveled in their worldwide adventures! Education was their top priority, and they were passionate about helping young people who could not afford an education to achieve one.
