OUR CHAPTER’S SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS FOR 2007-2008
You’ve heard the expression, “We have a winner!” Our chapter has five winners of $1250 scholarships for the upcoming school year.
When we announced the program this year, we expected to receive donations to be able to award four scholarships at the increased amount of $1250. We clearly underestimated how many of our membership would participate. We received more than 500 donations, adding to more than $6000. Your Board received the message and increased the number of scholarships to fit the contributions.
This year we had 15 applicants and Scholarship America designated the following five as the best of an outstanding group.
Andrew Briggs, a grandson of chapter member Angela Botbol, will be in his third year at Brigham Young University-Idaho. He is majoring in Psychology. Andrew plans to attend medical school in California, specializing and eventually practicing in Psychiatry. Most recently he has served his church as a bilingual missionary in southern California.
Kyle Clark may be a familiar name since he is the first multiple-year winner of our scholarships. Kyle is now beginning his second year at UC-Santa Barbara, preparing for a major in Business Economics with an emphasis in accounting and a minor in mathematics. His goal is to become a high school teacher in economics or mathematics. His current hobbies include playing guitar and volleyball. Kyle is a grandson of chapter member Robert Randolph.
