CARMICHAELS – Three Carmichaels Area School District graduates are the recipients of three scholarships.
Charlyne Adams and Floretta Chambers were each awarded a $5,000 scholarship from the Paul and Dolores Jazwa Lavins Scholarship Fund.
Each year, the fund awards two $5,000 scholarships, renewable each year for four years, to two deserving Carmichaels seniors. This is the 14th year this scholarship has been given at Carmichaels.
Hillary Pratt was the recipient of the Michael E. Holupka Jr. and Kathleen Marinoff Gift Fund, which awards a $1,000 scholarship each year for no longer than five years to a deserving Carmichaels senior. This fund has been an active part of Carmichaels’ graduation for the past 15 years.
