It was an easy decision to support their only son, Nathan, when he competed in Missouri Western\u2019s applied business ownership class and was awarded a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Petaluma, California\u00a0in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Relocating to California was a big step for Nathan. Leaving behind the family farm on which he was raised meant leaving his parents a lot of work \u2013 what would they do without his extra set of hands? But Chad and Shannon knew they wanted to wholeheartedly support their son\u2019s pursuits, even if that meant his relocating halfway across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan looked up to Chad not only as a dad, but as a mentor and life coach. \u201cMany children are close to their parents,\u201d said Pam Klaus, director of the Center for Franchise Development, through which the applied business ownership class is run. \u201cNathan was exceptionally\u00a0close to his. His parents were around during the [store] transfer. They were obviously very involved in his goals and pursuits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For this reason and more, Nathan and Shannon chose to honor Chad\u2019s memory with the Chad R. Nold Family Scholarship when he passed away in September 2020. They wanted to do something that would help other students while memorializing their loving father and husband.<\/p>\n<p>Two scholarships of $1,000 each are being offered to two students each year. The first is offered to a high school senior\u00a0from Andrew or Buchanan County planning to attend Missouri Western\u2019s Craig School of Business. The second is offered to a Missouri Western senior interested in entrepreneurship, with preference going to a student pursuing the applied business ownership class.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan and Shannon hope that the scholarships will allow students\u00a0to do something they would not otherwise be able to do. They wish to keep Chad\u2019s memory alive for the family while being able to help someone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for giving us a chance to further keep Chad\u2019s memory alive,\u201d said Shannon and Nathan. \u201cIt is incredibly special for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nolds, Chad \u201993, Shannon, and their son, Nathan \u201918, are an entrepreneurial family \u2013 Chad and Shannon had businesses of their own.
