By Ralph K. Spencer, D'Evelyn Education Foundation Board of Directors On January 9, 2020, I had the distinct pleasure, at the request of the Counseling Office, to meet with D'Evelyn seniors in the cafeteria to discuss the topic of free money, otherwise known as Scholarships and Awards. Since that meeting, I am very proud to report that the total of this year's scholarships and awards has increased by $900 thanks to the generosity of two D'Evelyn supporters. The Lynne M. Murphy Performing Arts Scholarship has been increased from $1,000 to $1,500. The Dr. Peter Silvaggio Physics Scholarship has been increased from $600 to $1,000, which can be split 50-50 between two applicants, if necessary. Therefore, for the first time in D'Evelyn history, the total of senior scholarships and awards available in any given year will break the $25,000 barrier, or to be specific, $25,250!!! This total will be awarded to D'Evelyn seniors at the May 13 Senior Banquet - to be held at none other than Empower Field, home of the Denver Broncos! The following bullets highlight my comments to the seniors and also include some additional information that I was not able to discuss given the time constraints of this meeting.
I will be writing additional articles on the topic of D'Evelyn scholarships and awards in future editions of the Jaguar Tracks. I hope you will take a few minutes to learn more about this incredibly rewarding program. If you have specific questions, please direct them to me at 303-979-9175, Ms. Hays, or Ms. McSwain. Free money, as everyone knows, is hard to come by in this world. With that in mind, the best of luck to every D'Evelyn senior who decides to take the scholarship plunge!!! Comments are closed.
