Mansfield Alumni Board President Larry Stanfill took to the podium on Saturday, May 4 to welcome attendees, and to announce this year’s alumni scholarship recipients.
Before announcing the recipients, Stanfill introduced the board members: Linda Udouj, secretary/ treasurer; Treva Mathis, the longest serving board member; Theresa Whiley, Taley Dedmon, Vicki Hall, Michael Elmore, Cheryl Davis and Terry Williams. “We are thankful for these volunteers who bleed red and white,” shared Stanfill.
Stanfill noted that the scholarship is supported by tax deductible donations and memorials collected through the year. “We had seven qualified applicants. This made our decision hard. Our criteria are based on academics, school activities and financial need. We are able to offer scholarships of $500 per semester for up to eight semesters per student. I believe we currently have three students receiving the scholarships in addition to the three we are announcing today.”
