“It was a difficult decision. There were so many exceptional and deserving applicants,” said Jennifer Warden, assistant vice president of Organizational Support and scholarship review committee member. “We continue to be amazed at the community involvement, and leadership roles that our high-school applicants have, all the while maintaining high scholastic achievements. Our non-traditional students are also an inspiration, often times balancing work, school, and family life while performing at a high level. ”
