Brown County Foundation scholarship winners

The trustees of the Brown County Scholarship Foundation are pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s scholarship awards. The Foundation annually awards over $11,000.00 in scholarship funds to graduating seniors representing the five local Brown County high schools who have submitted applications. The applications are judged on the following criteria: must have a 3.0 grade point average or higher; must have been accepted to a 4-year college, university, or a post-secondary accredited educational institution; extra-curricular activities; and community service activities. Family size and financial need are also a consideration.

The Foundation was established in 1999 to administer funds provided by local educators Kathleen Stephan and E.V. and Carl Stephan for scholarships awarded to deserving graduates from Georgetown High School. Over the years other scholarship funds have been added to increase the number of scholarships awarded. This year’s awardees include:
