Recipients recently had a chance to meet and thank Owens, his son, Bruce, and daughter, Sandy Owens Hosier, at a scholarship recognition and appreciation dinner in Canton; parents, school guidance counselors and several district administrators were also in attendance.
Owens and his wife established the scholarship at the Community Foundation in 2014 with the first scholarships being awarded in 2016 to inspire high school students to focus on post-secondary studies and careers in STEM while encouraging them to pursue employment opportunities in the North Country.
