The Hazleton Chapter of UNICO granted annual scholarships to four successful applicants.
Hazleton UNICO grants these scholarships each year to help area graduates pursue their higher education goals.
Each successful applicant was awarded $1,500 to be used for their tuition or other associated school costs.
One technical school scholarship was awarded to James Festa, and three academic scholarships were awarded to Julia Ustynoski, Emily Reinmiller and Kaitlyn Puzzetti.
James Festa, a Hazleton Area Career Center graduate, is the son of Marty and Kerry Festa, Sugarloaf, and plans to attend the Southeast Lineman Training Center in Georgia.
Julia Ustynoski, a Marion High School graduate, is the daughter of Christian and Michelle Ustynoski, Sugarloaf, and will be attending Penn State University, pursuing a business degree.

Kaitlyn Puzzetti, a Hazleton High School graduate, is the daughter of TJ and Shelley Puzzetti, Freeland, and will be attending Penn State University, pursuing a career in Law.
UNICO wishes the very best to these graduates as they pursue their career goals in the upcoming fall semester.
