USMRA Scholarship Committee Selections
|
Each year, USMRA awards scholarships to recognize excellence in leadership,
service to community, and patriotism. Applicants are the son, daughter,
grandson, or granddaughter of a USMRA member and must meet other strict criteria
to be considered for this award. After due consideration of the applications, it is the decision of the 2009
USMRA Scholarship Committee that
Craig Anderson son of Jim Anderson
Kelly Chapman daughter of Kim Chapman
be recognized as the winners for 2009. Each of these exemplary students will
receive a $500 scholarship award.
The 2009 USMRA Scholarship Committee wishes to thank the membership for the
honor of having served in this capacity. We have once again had the opportunity
to see first hand some outstanding young adults who have distinguished
themselves by their pursuit of excellence and their willingness to serve their
fellows. We also witnessed the tremendous comradeship and generosity of so many
Rangers. Because of them, USMRA is able to award these scholarships. Indeed,
Rangers Lead the Way!
Respectfully submitted:
Ranger J.D. Kirby
Ranger Brian Cunningham
