The Labconco-Callaway Scholarship is offered for the benefit of Labconco employees to assist in expanding educational opportunities at the college level. It was created in recognition of the longstanding leadership of the Callaway family within Labconco Corporation, beginning with Ralph Callaway in 1925 and Redman Callaway in 1939. Their philosophies and leadership help create a unique atmosphere at Labconco, and it is the objective of this scholarship to provide Labconco families with the opportunity for educational growth in keeping with these philosophies.
