STANFORD -- The Olympia
Ministerial Alliance awards scholarships each year to area seniors
at graduation. At the Olympia baccalaureate service on May 17, the
ministerial group presented two awards of $1,000 each. This year's
winners of the Scott Ewing Memorial Senior Scholarship are Garrett
Kelson and Jayson Meyer.
|
Garrett is the son of Robert and Christy Kelson of Danvers. Garrett
will attend Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in the fall and
intends to study athletic training. Jayson is the son of Jay and
Becky Meyer of McLean. Jayson will attend Lincoln Christian
University to study Christian ministry.
The scholarship is named in honor of Scott Ewing, a youth
minister from Minier who invested great time and concern in area
young people. He was tragically killed in an automobile accident in
December of 2004.
This scholarship seeks to honor graduating seniors from Olympia
High School who exemplify their Christian life and character at
school, their church, within their community and with their life
goals.
The scholarship committee was fortunate to have many fine
applicants to review. It is the hope and intent of the ministerial
group that the awards will be an encouragement to the young people
as they pursue their future plans. The Olympia Ministerial Alliance
congratulates these young people on their lives and achievement.
