I would like to personally like to thank the Scholarship Committee for their hard work and for selecting an excellent group of scholarship recipients. As there were over 90 applications, this is a very hard job indeed. But as usual, the committee did an excellent job.
I would also like to remind the Great Peppers/Pod Representatives of the recipients that we would like to have a copy of any photo opportunities that you might have with the recipients such as presenting the award, etc.
