Owens Community College Board of Trustees has announced the names of area high school seniors who will receive scholarships through the Trustees’ Academic Excellence Scholarship Program.

“Owens Community College is pleased to honor and recognize these incoming students for their academic efforts and exemplary contributions within their high schools and communities,” said Dee Talmage, Owens Chair of the Board of Trustees in a prepared statement. “Each recipient exhibits outstanding leadership qualities and will certainly excel as they begin pursuit of their academic and careers goals. The Board of Trustees is honored to welcome them to Owens Community College.”

The Academic Excellence Scholarship Program was created in 1998 by Owens’ Board of Trustees to recognize the outstanding achievements of graduating high school seniors. Each recipient will receive a $2,000 two-year scholarship.

According to Owens Community College, each scholarship is available for four consecutive semesters with applicants being enrolled full-time and pursuing an associate’s degree at the College, as well as maintaining a 3.0 grade point average each semester. Since its creation more than a decade ago, the Trustees’ Academic Excellence Scholarship Program has provided over $1.3 million in scholarships to 685 students.
