Bobb Meckenstock of The Meckenstock Group and Main Street Securities established the David L. Meckenstock Financial Planning Scholarship in the Fall of 2005 in honor of his brother, David, who died last year. David was the first CFP in this part of the state, back in the early 1970s; and this scholarship is being funded to help students who are pursuing this same career. The scholarship was awarded for the first time in the Spring of 2006 and will be awarded annually thereafter. The first recipient of the David L. Meckenstock Financial Planning Scholarship was Ryan Vavricka, a junior from Ness City majoring in financial planning. He was given an award of $1,000.
