Troy 30-C Students Receive Hawk Scholarships

Seven Troy Community School District 30-C students this year received Joliet Region Education Hawk Scholarships from the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry Education Committee.

Troy Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Anne Gmazel said recipients of the college scholarships are Troy Craughwell Elementary School student Mason Crocker; William B. Orenic Intermediate School students Eddie Fabrizio and Ryan Miller; and Troy Middle School students Riley Bryll, Brody Pulaski, Kelcie Rainey and Alih Rangel.

W.B.O.’s Cathryn Governale, a previous scholarship recipient, was also named a winner of the competition.

Gmazel thanked the Chamber for its commitment to Troy’s students.

According to the Chamber, the college scholarship program began in 2014 to encourage and motivate students through recognition and financial reward for academic performance and community service.

Students are scored on their grades, extracurricular activities, awards and recognitions, and a written essay. The program showcases the students in their school and civic community so that greater attention will be given to their achievements in hopes that future students will strive to meet and exceed those benchmarks.

The scholarship fund is supported by fundraising and contributions from the members of the Joliet community and the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
