Whew! The IRC staff has done a lot of reading in the past few weeks. We received applications from all over the metro for our two scholarships, and we're pleased to announce that we have chosen the winners for both. We will announce the names of the winners at Friday's Berkley Lecture.
Regular readers remember our announcements about the Todd E. Davis scholarship (for college students) and the Eliot S. Berkley Award for International Achievement (for high school students). Students submitted to the IRC an essay on an international topic, a statement of purpose, and a teacher recommendation. The IRC staff and board of directors went through all of them carefully and look forward to congratulating the winners this Friday. The Eliot S. Berkley Award winner will receive a $500 scholarship, the Todd E. Davis winner will receive a $1000 scholarship.
The IRC would also like to mention Lenora Miles of Platte County High School, who submitted dozens of her students' essays for consideration for the Berkley Award. Miles' campaign on behalf of her students is truly admirable, and the IRC looks forward to another crop of essays from her students next year. We will feature more about Miles in our upcoming December newsletter.
The Berkley Lecture is this coming Friday, but it's not too late to register! Go to www.irckc.org to register to attend.
