2022 Scholarship Recipients
This is the Foundation’s 15th year of providing scholarships to talented high school,
college and graduate students.
Once again, the Foundation received hundreds of applications from across the
country. Along with their portfolio of work, recipients were chosen based on several
criteria, including financial need, an essay, letters of reference and their school
transcript.
The Foundation’s guest judges this year were Steve Bodinet, formerly of
KTVK-KPHO, Channel 3, Phoenix and Elise Wilson, of Aspen PRO Media, Arizona.
