2008 Scholarship Winners

A group of 12 students have been declared winners in the 9th Annual TelecomPioneers Scholarship Program.  With unprecedented ties in two groups, judges decided to award two extra scholarships rather than break the tie.

 

“Our goal is to help as many students as we can,” said Marty Lee, President of TelecomPioneers. “All of the applicants submitted impressive credentials and we wish all of them continued success in the classroom.”

 

Each student earned a $1,000 scholarship which will be forwarded to the school of their choice.

 

Scholarships are awarded annually to two students in each of the five Pioneer groups.  The ties occurred in the New Outlook and Canadian groups.

 

All applicants are judged by Scholarship America, an independent judging service, with winners selected based on community service, school and leadership activities and academic achievement.
