F C S U 2 0 1 0 JEDNOTA SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
The
students pictured on these pages were chosen as scholarship recipients by our
Scholarship Committee, which is composed of active and retired educators, as a
result of their SAT scores, cumulative grade point average and class rank. In addition, each applicant was judged on the
basis of his/her involvement in extra-curricular and volunteer activities. Emphasis was placed upon pride of being
Catholic and Slovak as evidenced throughout the required essays on the
application. Finally, financial need and
the cost of their chosen colleges were evaluated.
The
Scholarship Committee selected 67 winners and each will receive a one-time
grant of $500.00.
This
year only a special “Thomas M. Hricik Memorial
Scholarship Award”, established in memory of our past President Thomas M. Hricik, will be given to a top male and top female
applicant. Lukas Belechak
is the top male winner and Caitlin Diable
is the top female winner. These special awards are one-time grants and are in
the amount of $1,000.00 each.
In
addition there were three special awards given by the “Thomas M. Hricik Scholarship Fund” to Stephanie Hlebovy,
Alicia Laughney and Andrea Sobona,
as winners of the Nursing Scholarship. Each winner will receive a one-time
grant of $500.00.
Additionally, each scholarship winner will be
issued a $3,000.00 Single Premium Life Insurance Policy upon proof of
graduation from college.
All
applicants who did not receive a scholarship will be given a one-time $50.00
U.S. Savings Bond in appreciation of their efforts.
Congratulations
to all. Best wishes in your academic carriers.
We ask all our Scholarship winners to be active in their local Branch
and District.
