At the event, 32 graduating high school seniors and one college student were awarded $8,000 scholarships from the community to support their pursuit of higher education. Also,12 students received donor-designated named scholarships totaling $39,300.

Qualifications include working 1,000 hours at Ann’s Choice during their junior and senior years in high school, maintaining satisfactory grades, building positive relationships with residents and maintaining a strong employment record.

“Thank you to our charitable residents for supporting this remarkable program to support our student scholars,” said Philanthropy Manager Robin Kaufold.

The ceremony included a keynote address from 2008 Scholar Adam Coleman, who worked at Ann’s Choice for 12 years and now is a lawyer. Additionally, remarks were provided by Associate Executive Director Vince Scala, Philanthropy Manager Robin Kaufold, student scholars Samantha O’Neill and Chance Hanefeld, parent Danielle Gronczewski, and members of the Scholars Fund Resident Committee.
