Delaney Kimble, a senior at Seabreeze High School, was selected to receive a $2,500 STAR Scholarship from the P.E.O. Sisterhood. She was recommended by P.E.O. Chapter BD of Daytona Beach.
The P.E.O. STAR Scholarship was established in 2009 to provide scholarships for exceptional women in their final year of high school to attend an accredited post-secondary educational institution in the U.S. or Canada in the next academic year. The competitive STAR Scholarship is for women who exhibit excellence in leadership, academics, extracurricular activities, community service and potential for future success.
Kimble is on student council, varsity swim team, has numerous rowing competition titles, is a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant and has accumulated many volunteer hours with various community projects. She will attend Florida State University in the fall to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences with the ultimate goal of becoming a Physician’s Assistant.
