The Douglas County Republican Women’s fundraiser, the Masquerade Ball, provided the club the opportunity to award $15,000 in scholarships to eight Douglas High School seniors this year.
Scholarship recipients this year were:
Abigail Hamer, who was awarded a $2,500 scholarship, will be attending the University of Reno majoring in Nursing. Her goal is to become an orthopedic nurse practitioner.
Camden Jahreis, who was awarded a $2,500 scholarship, will be attending University of Utah majoring in biology and eventually would like to work toward being a physician’s assistant-pediatrics.
Camryn McLelland, who was awarded a $2,500 scholarship, will be attending Case Western Reserve College in Ohio majoring in civil engineering.
Mia Negralle, who was awarded a $1,250 scholarship, will be attending Boise State University majoring in criminology/civil engineering.
Jackson Ovard, who was awarded a $2,500 scholarship, will be attending Feather River College majoring in exercise and health science.

Daniel Ward, who was awarded a $1,250 scholarship, will be attending University of Tennessee majoring in mechanical engineering.
Kolton Ward, who was awarded a $1,250 scholarship, will be attending California State Polytechnic majoring in fire science.
Selecting candidates for scholarships is a multi-step process. The committee consists of nine members who read each of the 22 applications and use their own scoring system.
Each member then selects the top eight to 10 students.
After coming to consensus, the committee forwards the students’ names to the school, and they set up the next step, which is interviewing the students. Students can aspire to attend either a four-year college, junior college or trade school.
