FORT KNOX GOLD VAULT CHAPTER CHAPTER - Apr 30, 2012 |
Chapter Scholarship Winners Announced |
The chapter issued two $1,000 Lift Off scholarships in April to two high school seniors planning to major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. Emily Carmack demonstrated academic excellence and outstanding leadership ability in nearly every dimension, including taking all advanced placement classes, becoming a scholar athlete and volunteering with groups such as Home of the Innocents and Dare to Care Food Bank. She stated, "I am planning to study chemical engineering or pharmacy because those majors will allow me to combine my favorite subjects with my desire to help people." Landon Wilcox received several awards, including the Distinguished in Mathematics Award, the Governor's Cup Math Award, the Lincoln Trail Youth Salute Leadership Award and First Place in a Lego League Regional Tournament. He states, "With my mathematical passion and a desire to research and create things with my hands, I will join my forces and become a biomedical engineer." |
