Newspaper awards five scholarships for $1,000
4.15.2008
EASTON, Md. — Henry Bennett, Brice Collamer, Adam Holter, Kristin Hulshart and Katie Scott are the 2008 recipients of $1,000 scholarships from The Delmarva Farmer.
These five students were chosen from a pool of 120 applicants from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey. Over the course of March, members of the scholarship committee read each application and sat down to debate the merits of all 120 applicants.
“We were very excited this year with the quality of the applicants,” said Stephanie Jordan, chairwoman of the scholarship committee. “Each student works hard, both in the classroom and in the agricultural community, and that’s really inspiring to see. And as an added bonus, we got to award five $1,000 scholarships this year.
“It’s unfortunate that we can’t help each and every applicant. We were impressed with each student’s dedication to school and to agriculture, and hopefully, in the future, we’ll be able to give out even more scholarships.”
Jordan also encourages students who were not awarded scholarships this year to apply again next year.
Applications will be made available in January 2009 for the 2009-10 school year.
Henry Bennett, of Frankford, Del., is a senior at Indian River High School, and will be attending the University of San Diego. He will be majoring in business and marketing, and minoring in Spanish.
Brice Collamer, of Hanover, Pa., is a senior at South Western High School and will attend an out-of-state school to major in engineering.
Adam Holter, of Jefferson, Md., is a senior at Middletown High School and will be attending Frederick Community College with the intent of transferring to Shepherd University.
Kristin Hulshart, of Macungie, Md., is a junior at Delaware Valley College and is majoring in horticulture and commercial crop production and marketing/plant health management.
Katie Scott, of Laurel, Del., received her associates in applied science in production agriculture from Delaware Technical and Community College and is currently attending the University of Delaware to obtain her bachelor’s degree.
Detailed profiles of each scholarship winner will appear in The Delmarva Farmer golf tournament supplement in August.
