The Fort Worth Chapter recently completed its 2020 STEM Scholarship campaign. The scholarship provides tuition funds for area graduating high school seniors who will be pursuing college degrees in STEM fields in the fall. This year, the Fort Worth and Abilene Chapters merged, expanding our region and enabling us to include Abilene school districts in the campaign. We had over 40 applicants, with 29 meeting all the requirements. The applicants were scored and ranked on academics, extra-curricular activities, community involvement, leadership roles and an essay.
The chapter was able to award a $1000 scholarship to each of the following five students for the fall 2020 semester at their school of choice.
- Jordan Chapin, Aledo high school – University of Nebraska, Mechanical Engineering
- London Kasper, Aledo high school – SMU, Computer Science
- Isabel Lopez, North Side high school – TCU, Mechanical Engineering
- Colin Means, Grapevine high school – Yale University, Bio-Medical Engineering
- Kaleb Reyna, Abilene TEMS high school – Abilene Christian University, Mechanical Engineering
The scholarship is funded by the proceeds raised during the annual Association of Old Crows Fort Worth Chapter Golf Scholarship Tournament. A virtual video award ceremony was held on July 24, 2020 with chapter officers, students and their families. Please join us in recognizing and congratulating these outstanding students.
