Scholarship

The Forever 49 Foundation was established to honor the memory of Beth Vissing Nieman by offering tuition assistance to students from high schools in the Cincinnati area who have been affected by cancer, whether it be a loved one’s illness or the student’s illness.

​

Since our founding in 2019, we have given 32 scholarships and three grants to students.

The Pam Deitschel Memorial Grant from Forever 49
In 2026, we began awarding one-time, discretionary grants toward tuition to worthy students.

The grant is named after our friend and supporter, Pam Deitschel, who passed away in 2025 after a valiant fight against breast cancer.

Like Beth, she was a wonderful mother, wife and friend, and we seek to honor her life with this grant.
