The Pierstorf College Fund was established in 1994 to provide interest-free loans to eligible college students who are members of Lutheran churches in Ohio. The Fund was initiated by Dr. Ervin Pierstorf and his beloved wife, Florence, in loving memory of his brother, Clarence. All three family members devoted themselves to helping young people receive a college education. As lifelong members of Messiah Lutheran Church in Fairview Park, Ohio, the Pierstorf Family chose to provide support funds for fellow Lutherans regardless of their synodical affiliation.
