2023 Scholarship Recipients
For the Class of 2023, of which Nick was a member, we awarded three scholarships.
The Foundation Scholarship Committee, which is compromised of non-family members, enjoyed reviewing each of the applications and spent a significant amount doing so. Determining the recipient is a difficult decision and is based upon many factors. . This year, the Committee chose three recipients. The 2023 Scholarship winners are:
Colby Gleckler
Siara Michels
Lydia Riddell
The Scholarship Selection Committee was overwhelmed with incredibly impressive applicants. We wish we could award scholarships to all. Thank you to all applicants. Congratulations again to Colby, Siara, and Lydia.
