College students from Margate and Longport received scholarships to continue their education.
The Herb Stern Longport Scholarship Fund awarded $26,500 to 15 students who graduated from the Eugene A. Tighe Middle School four or more years ago.
The Margate Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association awarded $4,200 in scholarships to seven students who also graduated from Tighe or are the children of Margate residents.
Julianna Duff, Gracie Pierce, Kelse Cooke, Julian Valentino, Brian Garrabrant, Franchesca Ritzel and Jordyn Ricciotti were the recipients of the FMBA’s O’Hara-McCormick Memorial Scholarship. Some of the students were on hand Thursday, June 20 to receive awards presented during the Margate Board of Commissioners meeting.
Members of the Longport scholarship fund took turns Wednesday presenting awards to students who were available to attend the Board of Commissioners meeting. The recipients are high school graduates entering college in the fall, or currently enrolled in college or graduate school.
