Joining in recognizing the Class of 2010 recipients for their Dependability, Service, Leadership and Patriotism were DAR Regent Patricia Petty and more than 50 guests, including school officials and DAR members. Each honoree received certificates from the offices of Bob Oaks and Sen. Nozolio, an official NSDAR Good Citizen Certificate and pin.
The Good Citizen Program began in 1917 for young women in Wayne County and was opened to male applicants until 1975. After receiving the nomination from their local school district, students had the option of participating in the Good Citizen Scholarship contest by writing an essay based on an assigned topic.
The essay was submitted to the chairperson Sue Dennie along with two letters of recommendation, an official transcript, and a personal statement that outlined the student’s school and community involvement, work experience, and college and career goals. A panel of men and women not affiliated with DAR judged the applications that met the required criteria.
The Col. Wm. Prescott Chapter of the NSDAR presents three awards to the first, second and third place winners in the amount of $100, $50 and $25 respectively. This year’s winners of the scholarship contest were Olivia Gerken - Pal-Mac; Sarah Lang – Wayne Central; and Lynne Harris - Newark.
The first place winner, Olivia Gerken, was also presented with an American Flag which was ceremoniously flown over our Capitol. Ms Gerken’s application will be forwarded to the Regional level of competition where she will compete for a $500 award and chance to advance to the State and National levels.
Students should contact their guidance counselors to apply for other DAR awards and scholarships.
