College scholarships are being awarded to five local high school graduating seniors by the Kiwanis Club of the Haddons.
Recommended by their high school guidance departments, the $500 scholarship awarded to these outstanding students will make an immediate impact on their first year studies as they pursue personal development and training for their life’s interests and future contributions to society.
The 2015 awardees are: Danielle Crowley, Haddon Township High School; June Diep, Eastern Regional High School; Jieun Kang, Eastern Regional High School; Destini Lopez, Camden Catholic High School; and Prasanna Tati, Haddon Heights High School.
Funds for the 2016 scholarships will be raised at the Kiwanis Club’s annual golf outing on Monday, Sept. 21, at Ramblewood Country Club in Mount Laurel. For $100, you can either participate in the golf outing, featuring a “best ball”/scramble format, dinner and sports-related door prizes; or sponsor a hole. Event sponsorship levels are also available. Contact Jack Wilson at willaw1@verizon.net or (856) 858–1640 to make your reservation. Tee time is 1 p.m.
Key Clubs for high school students are sponsored at Cherry Hill High School East, Eastern Regional High School and Haddonfield Memorial High School. An Aktion Club for adults with disabilities is sponsored by the Bancroft School.
