Spotlight on Scholarship
After reviewing and scoring almost 300 applications, we were able to select and present a scholarship in the amount of $1,500 to each of the following students. It was especially interesting to note that the top 20 students who’s applications I reviewed, also received a scholarship from one of the other supporters since the students apply for multiple scholarships.

The Scholarship in Memory of Paul Betschart & Gary Dapelo was presented to
Vatsana Khammanivong from Florin High School

The Scholarship in Memory of Ted Schmidt & Henry Kloss was presented to
Joy Stewart from Pleasant Grove High School
