The Kearns Nobles Education Trust was established by Michael and Tana Kearns to honor the enduring values of hard work, perseverance, family support, and the belief that education creates opportunity. Recognizing the lasting impact that educational advancement can have on individuals, families, and future generations, the Trust was created to help descendants of the Kearns and Nobles families pursue their academic, technical, and professional goals through tuition reimbursement assistance.

Founded as a lasting family legacy to James & Theresa Kearns and Gilbert Nobles and Kathleen Shepard, the Trust reflects a shared commitment to investing in future generations by reducing financial barriers to education and encouraging personal growth, responsibility, and achievement. Through thoughtful stewardship and continued family support, the Trust seeks to provide meaningful educational opportunities while preserving the principles and aspirations upon which it was established.
