The Quinton E. Beauge Memorial Journalism Scholarship will provide assistance to one or more students each year. A first preference will be given to those majoring in journalism, and an additional preference to those from Lycoming County.

His son, John, graduated from Penn State with a journalism degree in 1962 and earned his master's degree from Northwestern University in 1963.

He was a four-year member of the Collegian staff, serving as photo editor his senior year.
