The Herkimer Region College & Career Scholarship Foundation awarded scholarships to local high school and adult students during the foundation’s 33rdannual awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 29.
Scholarship Foundation Board of Trustees President Sharon Baisley and Board of Trustees member Sarah Crowe spoke to guests and handed out certificates to students. Crowe also talked about accomplishments for each of the award winners in attendance.
“I want you to hear more about what rock stars they have been,” Crowe said, before later adding that the award winners have taken advantage of every opportunity they have been presented with. “They should really just be commended for that.”
The awards ceremony and dinner took place at the Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES William E. Busacker Complex in Herkimer.
