Scholarships to be Awarded May 26

We are pleased to announce that twenty-eight $500 scholarships and two $250 toolships will be awarded at the WRVC Awards night on Thursday May 26. The event starts at 7PM at Westbrook High School auditorium. All are welcome to attend and recognize these fine students.

As part of their application, students were required to write a three paragraph essay about the impact that vocational education has had on them. Some of the statements that stood out to the selection committee:

Without WRVC I would have never found myself.
This class has really shown me maturity and it has also shown me responsibility.
What has WRVC done for me? It helped me discover my true passion in business.
Medical Occupations has been very rewarding. I will come out of class with Personal Support Specialist, CPR, phlebotomy license and CNA.
Vocational school has had a great impact on me as a worker and as a student. I have learned the importance of safety in the workplace and of keeping my own area clean. I have also learned the responsibility of showing up on time and working as a team.
Vocational school is the only reason I get up in the morning. It is the reason my grades have improved and it’s the reason I will be attending college. I will be forever grateful for the amazing opportunity Voc has provided me.

Thanks to Pat Plummer, Cliff Plummer and Judith Reidman for reviewing the applications.
