The St. Clare Knights of Columbus presented the 2019 Scholarship Awards at the graduation dinner on Sunday, May 19. The St Clare Knights began awarding scholarships to deserving high school graduates in 2012; since then, the Knights have funded scholarships totaling more than $42,000.
This year the St. Clare Knights awarded 5 scholarships totaling $8,000 including the $3,000 Elizabeth Witten Scholarship. James Witten was a 4th degree Knight, and the funding of this scholarship is one of the many ways his family honors his and his wife’s memory.
This year the Knights presented the Witten Scholarship Award to Wyatt King. Wyatt recently joined the Knights of Columbus and this marks the first time a Knight has ever won the Award. The other Scholarship winners were:
Miranda Asuncion;
Tegan Standa;
Haylee Hallberg; and
James Selmarten.
Scholarship awards are sent directly to the admitting school in August to be used for any expense posted by the school for the student. Congratulations to all of our Scholarship Winners!
