FACC Celebrates 13 Scholarship Recipients

The Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce presented 13 local high school seniors with scholarships at the annual Scholarship Luncheon on Wednesday, July 1st at Andre’s West Banquet Center in Fenton, Missouri. Since 1987, the Fenton Chamber has had the privilege of awarding 310 high school graduates with over $250,000 in scholarship funds to further their education.
 
This year’s scholarship recipients include: from Rockwood Summit High School – Cailin Collins, Lauren DeBoor, Jennifer deJong, Samantha Hahn, Ross Kurczynski, Trevor Meyer, Patrick Tosti, Michael Trudzinksi, Grabriella Tucci, Zachary VanTuyl and Cody Vogel; from Lindbergh High School – Haley Greer; from Northwest High School – Joseph Hagan.
 
Ross Kurczynski was awarded the 2015 Ginny Goede Scholarship, established in 2002 as a tribute to her untiring dedication to the Chamber, to helping others and to giving back to the community. Ross accelerated his high school graduation so that he could attend 14 weeks of basic training and special skills training before starting college this fall as a Private First Class in the U.S. Army National Guard.
 
Members of the Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce along with the high school graduates and their families, were in attendance to honor the outstanding successes and accomplishments of these scholars from the 63026 zip code.
 
This event was sponsored by Edward Jones – Sean C. King. Awards were presented by Sean King and Ginny Goede as the honors and achievements of each scholar were announced. Scholarship Recipients were also awarded with an official proclamation from the Missouri House of Representatives, recognizing their receipt of a Fenton Chamber Scholarship.
