“The selection committee was impressed with the quality of the applications and the dedication of the applicants to community service. We encourage all students to continue to pursue their passions and to make a positive impact in their communities,” said Iris Simpson Bush, president and CEO of Pig Works.
Since its inception in 2018, the Flying Pig Community Scholars Program has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships to deserving students in the community. This year, the program has expanded from four winners to ten winners (five female and five male). Each winner receives a $5,000 scholarship toward post-secondary education.
The Community Scholars program is generously funded by the Coughlin Family, by sponsorship from Skyline Chili, and through donations to the Community Scholars program. These contributions allow the program to recognize and reward the hard work and dedication of students who have made a positive impact on our local community.
These ten students will be honored at the annual Community Scholars Breakfast event on April 19, 7:30 a.m. at Music Hall, where they will be recognized for their accomplishments and will have the opportunity to hear Olympian Mary Wineberg share her inspirational story. Tickets are still available for those interested in attending: https://raceroster.com/events/2023/73775/2023-flying-pig-community-scholars-breakfast.
