$22,000 in Scholarships Awarded to High School Seniors

Eleven high school seniors are heading into the summer break with some extra cash for college thanks to the chapter's scholarship program. The chapter's annual scholarship banquet was held in April in Bossier City, Louisiana. Students competed for $2,000 scholarships by submitting detailed applications. The students had to be going to college to study science, technology, engineering, arts or mathematics (STEAM). Keynote speaker Maj. Gen. Michael E. Fortney, USAF, the vice commander of Air Force Global Strike Command at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, advised the students to go into the world and innovate by overcoming obstacles and to never stop asking why. The chapter's Swinging for Scholarships golf tournament fundraiser will be held in June at the Fox Run Golf Course on Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, to raise money for next year's group of outstanding students.
