By Bob Robinson
GREENVILLE – Greenville Eagles 2177 congratulated five freshman college
students for their efforts and awarded a scholarship to each through
the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund Sept. 28. The presentation took
place at the Eagles Lodge on Third Street.
The recipients were:
Micaela Adkins graduated from Greenville High School and is going into
early childhood education at Sinclair Community College. She is the
daughter of Anna and David Humphrey.
Tara Guillozet graduated from Greenville High School and is attending
the University of Cincinnati on a Fashion Design career path. She is
the daughter of Scott Guillozet.
Savannah Hauberg is a graduate of Greenville High School. She is
attending Indiana University East, specializing in the field of
Gerontology. She is the granddaughter of Allen Hauberg.
Sydney Hunt is a graduate of Greenville High School. She attends Owens
Community College and will be pursuing a medical technology degree with
an emphasis on diagnostic medical imaging (sonography). She is the
granddaughter of Susan Matthew.
Shelby Schepis is a graduate of Tri-Village High School. She currently
attends IU East but will be transferring to Ivy Tech Community College
in the spring. She is majoring in accounting with an emphasis on
financial forensic investigations. She is the granddaughter of William
Brinley.
“It's just wonderful that the Eagles can partner with the Senior
Scribes to provide help for these wonderful people’s college
education,” said Eagles member and Senior Scribes Scholarship Committee
secretary Lyn Bliss.
This year, the local Eagles organization had to sift through a dozen
applications to award the limited funds that were available.
“Each year we search several applications for deserving kids, who meet
our criteria, to give scholarships. This year we found five wonderful
young ladies and hopefully in years to come we'll be able to provide
more and more scholarships for our local youth,” said Aerie Worthy
President Steffanie Baker.
Greenville Eagles has awarded scholarships to the children and
grandchildren of Eagles members for many years and recently opted to
become part of the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund program. This is
their second year with SSSF; and during that time they have awarded
$9,000 in scholarships through the fund.
SSSF has been working to help young people with scholarships since
2008. Scholarship awards to date total nearly $37,000.
