Scholarships Awarded to 2024 Graduates
This year, the ABWC awarded $14,100 in college scholarships to 4 students from East Bay High School, 5 from Lennard High School, and 2 from Sumner High School.
The scholarships were funded by fundraisers, the memorials of club members/family, and donations from the Estate of Betty Fay, Eileen Sengstock, in memory of her daughter, Zeta Kappa Sorority, in memory of Sonja Davidson.
All recipients attending a 4-year Florida university received $1500 for tuition, books, and lab fees. Hillsborough College students received $700 for tuition, books, and lab fees.
The recipients and a parent were honored at the May 8 luncheon at the Moose Lodge in Ruskin, along with their guidance counselors.
To be eligible, the scholarship applicant must be assigned to attend either East Bay or Lennard High School, plan to attend a Florida college or university and submit a completed application by the deadline.
All applicants must meet the club’s stated scholarship criteria: financial need, outstanding scholastic accomplishments, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, 2 recommendations, a 500-word student essay, and community service hours.
