ROYERSFORD — The Montgomery-Bucks Family and Consumer Science Association recently awarded the Grace M. Reimard Scholarship to 12th-grade student Robin Konefsky.

Konefsky, of Royersford, plans to attend Johnson and Wales University, and enroll in the school’s culinary and business management program in the fall.

The Grace M. Reimard Scholarship is awarded to two area seniors who are interested in pursuing a career in family and consumer sciences. They must apply and submit transcripts and two letters of recommendation to the Montgomery-Bucks Family and Consumer Science Association’s scholarship committee in order to be considered for the $500 grant.

Diana Ward, high school family and consumer sciences department chairwoman, said the scholarship allows students to invest in their education and plan for a future career in family and consumer sciences.

Konefsky agreed, and was appreciative that the committee chose her, especially since she wants to become a chef and own her own restaurant one day.

“I am deeply grateful that I was selected for The Grace M. Reimard Scholarship because it will help with my college needs and securing my future dreams,” Konefsky added.
