It has been a distinct honor and privilege to serve as your Scholarship Foundation president for the last two years. No one could have anticipated the challenges presented during the last year created by the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of charitable organizations experienced a financial downturn, and the recipients of their services were adversely affected as well. I am pleased to report that your foundation has far exceeded expectations during this historic period of time in our nation's history. New records were achieved for total scholarship dollars provided over the last two years with $516,500 awarded in 2019 and $537,000 awarded in 2020. It is also important to note that 304 deserving applicants received awards in 2019 and 313 applicants received awards in 2020. Initial analysis reveals the 2021 program could set another record monetarily and for total applicants receiving awards.
