The family of AJ (Adam) Gutierrez has created a scholarship in his name to honor all his volunteer work within the community, including KRVM. Adam had a passion to serve. He did this through volunteering for many organizations such as Big Brother Big Sister, SMART, Springfield Police Department, coaching soccer, Adelante Si, multiple local festivals and his greatest passion: DJ’ing for KRVM. This scholarship is offered to Graduating Sheldon Class of 2025 students who have taken the KRVM Broadcasting Class at any point in their high school career, with the goal of supporting students in need within our community who are applying for their first year in college.
Adam was no stranger to obstacles. He faced them willingly and vowed to be an example to others. His family understands the multitude of obstacles graduating students may face. The hardships that come with life and trying to prepare for college can be overwhelming for any student, and this scholarship is offered in the hopes of helping the recipients get a solid start on their journey.
