2020 Scholarship Awards

The St. Clare Knights of Columbus presented the 2020 Scholarship Awards to the recipients on Thursday, July 9 during an online ceremony due to social distancing. The St Clare Knights began awarding scholarships to deserving high school graduates in 2009; since then, the Knights have funded scholarships totaling more than $48,000.

This year the St. Clare Knights awarded 5 scholarships totaling $6,500 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.

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!  This year the Scholarship winners are:

Kathryn Barlow, Witten Scholarship, Baylor University
Nicholas Herlambang, Texas A&M University
Madeleine Keller, Benedictine College
Zachary Woolley, Arizona State University
Christopher Yo, Texas A&M University
