The Educational Scholarship Fund Committee of the Waynesburg Area Chamber of Commerce has announced that the 21st annual scholarship in the amount of $1,500 was presented to Rhetta King of the Open Door Christian School.
Seventeen year old Rhetta plans to attend Geneva College to pursue a degree in Elementary Education this fall. She is the daughter of Brian and LeeAnn King of Waynesburg, Pa. and a 2011 graduate of the Open Door Christian School where she maintained a 4.2 grade point average.
This scholarship, the twenty-first for the Chamber, is presented each year to a Greene County senior who plans to attend a college or trade school. The 2011 scholarship was awarded based on grade point average and a 500 word essay on "How I Plan to Use My Education to Make a Difference in My Life and My Community". The students community involvement and school activities are reviewed in the case of a tie. Rhetta and her family were special guests of the Chamber at the May General Membership Meeting of Chamber members where she read her winning essay.
This year, twenty-two applications for the scholarship were received by the Chamber of Commerce. The committee had a difficult task of selecting one winner from the qualified field. The Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all who participated in the process.
