Congratulations to Judy Veatch Memorial Scholarship recipient Allie Stump and Chuck Keraga Memorial Scholarship recipient Soren Johnson.

The recipients were presented their awards on May 6, 2026 at the ZCHS Senior Honors Night by ZLL Board Member Bernie Paul.

These scholarships are awarded each year to high school seniors who played in Zionsville Little League.  The Keraga Scholarship is awarded to a former ZLL baseball player and the Veatch Scholarship is awarded to a former ZLL softball player.  Each scholarship is valued at $1,000 and is based on the applicant’s involvement in ZLL, their academic performance, participation and leadership in extracurricular activities, and the quality of a written essay about how their experiences in Zionsville Little League helped prepare them for college, a professional career, and family life.

The scholarships were created to honor the memory of longtime ZLL volunteers Chuck Keraga and Judy Veatch.  More information about Chuck, Judy, and these scholarships can be viewed here.
