Last Tuesday, a bus full of nervous scholars headed towards the awards ceremony at Millard High School. After a grueling year crammed with service projects, leadership activities, and nerve wracking interviews, the tension was climaxing as students waited to see who would win a scholarship that would pave their way through college. Upon arrival, prospective scholars milled with students from across the state, flipped through portfolios, and checked out the competition.

In every category, there are two runners-up and one winner. Ashley Wright was a runner up in the category of Family and Consumer Sciences. Ashley is the daughter of Maughn and Karla Wright. Megan Vance won in the field of Foreign Language. Megan is the daughter of Lynn and Heather Vance. Matthew Nielson won in the field of Speech and Drama. Matthew is the son of Glade and Mary Nielson. Katelyn Peterson was a runner up in the General Scholarship category. Katelyn is the daughter of Rhett and Ann Peterson.
