The club’s scholarship committee reviews the essays in May, making their determination without knowing the identity of the student.
“In this way, we are focusing solely on the student’s essay along with his or her other scholastic and extra-curricular activities,” said Scholarship Committee Chairwoman Stephanie Janji.
The two scholarships will be awarded on Sat., June 10, at the club’s annual scholarship fundraiser at Old Ranch Country Club. “The event is a wonderful time for members and guests to gather together to recognize how our efforts will assist two local students with their college expenses,” said club President Nancy Hathcock adding, “And this year it’s going to be a western-themed event, which will be a lot of fun.”
