Since inception in 1995 and including 2024 the scholarship fund will have provided $1,240,000 to 118 scholars. Thanks to your generosity, there will be 16 scholars in school collectively receiving $80,000 in assistance.
Laurie Gustafson, chairman of the scholarship committee, announced the four new 2024 scholars, saying “Our committee feels so lucky to meet the quality of students applying for our scholarship. Beyond impressive grades, the students show a sincere interest in helping others, a real commitment to service, and a determination to make a difference in the world. We all feel optimism for the future with leaders like these. Our decision was very difficult, as we met many talented students, but it was a great opportunity for us to meet them all, and to reward the following four with Ed Posh Scholarships.”
