ROBERT “SCOOTER” TIEMANN TEENPOWER SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
Fund History
Robert “Scooter” Tiemann was an advocate for youth and a long-time volunteer with Youth Resources’ TEENPOWER and Teen Advisory Council programs. He was deeply respected and loved by the students he mentored and the peers he volunteered alongside because he made us laugh, he made us feel special, and he simply cared. We were and still are broken-hearted at his unexpected passing on June 10, 2013 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident while on business in Pecos, TX.
The Scooter Scholarship Fund was founded because Scooter used to pay the registration fee for students in need to participate in Youth Resources’ High School and Middle School TEENPOWER conferences. Scooter never wanted anyone, especially the kids, to know that he was behind their generous scholarships. We’ve spilled his secret, but we know that he would be thrilled that more students can now attend TEENPOWER to meet positive adult and peer role models, learn about making healthy choices, develop their leadership skills, and make life-long friends.
A 2000 Memorial High School graduate, Scooter was the president of his class for two years, played football, and was honored by the Rotary Club which enabled him to travel to Germany as a summer exchange student. He majored in communications and minored in economics at DePauw University, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, studied abroad in England, and played rugby.
Scooter worked in the oil industry for Hydrocarbon Acquisitions where he specialized in GIS mapping, title curative and land acquisitions. Scooter and his wife, Carlee (Schnautz) Tiemann, were married May 18, 2013 at St. Boniface Catholic Church. Carlee has a spirit as generous and beautiful as Scooter’s, and we are blessed to have her in the YR family. Chip Tiemann, Scooter’s brother, is a member of Youth Resources’ board of directors and he and his wife Melissa are passionate advocates for kids and for the programs at YR that Scooter loved so much. Bob and Tee Tiemann, Scooter’s parents, are also tireless supporters of Scooter’s legacy at YR. Scooter is missed dearly by many, including he and Carlee’s four-legged “son” Doug.
The Robert “Scooter” Tiemann TEENPOWER Scholarship Fund is made possible by generous gifts from family, friends, and community members. Youth Resources’ hosts an annual golf outing, our Scooter Scramble, at Oak Meadow Country Club, from which all proceeds benefit Youth Resources and the Scooter Scholarship Fund.
“We thought he was a pretty special young man. His compassion and his caring for others, from a young age, was always obvious, and we were extremely proud of him. He didn’t have a long life, but he had the kind of life that I think touches a lot of people and we’re so happy for that.” -Bob Tiemann, Scooter’s dad
