Our annual need-based scholarships were awarded to Lancaster and Depew High School graduates continuing to college or trade school.The last two years, applicants have been few.
High costs of college are closing out the students we reach out to, despite helps like our own,
Therefore, this year we changed the qualification to include graduates going on to trade schools and are back to a healthy application rate.
As we scored the applicants it became apparent that the fourth and fifth were less than one point apart, but both were almost a standard deviation above those below.
As a result, an award was added, and the club presented five scholarships at their respective school's graduation ceremonies.
Congratulations to: Samar Mehrzad, Hope Jerackas, Dylan Thomas, Clare Devine, and Kayl Hazel.
