Our 2021 – 2022 scholarship recipients include 38 previous scholarship recipients and 18 first-time recipients.
Awards were based on an assessment of each applicant’s financial need and academic performance, with a focus on applicants who were studying subjects in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), and Public Safety.
