The St. Clare Knights of Columbus presented the 2018 Scholarship Awards at the graduation dinner on May 20. The St Clare Knights began awarding scholarships to deserving high school graduates in 2012; since then, the Knights have funded scholarships totaling more than $34,000.
This year the St. Clare Knights awarded scholarships totaling $6,750 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. Grand Knight Jerry Moch presented this year’s Scholarship Awards to Michelle “Missy” Parma $3,000 (Witten Scholarship sponsored by Kathy and Grant Pitman); Rebecca Rupp $1,000; Elizabeth Saiz $1,000; and Juliana Judge $1,000; and Katherine Toerner $750. Scholarship awards are sent directly to the admitting school in August to be used for any expense posted by the school for the student. See more photos.
