Brush Alumni Association 2012 Scholarships

On May 16, 2012, in the Brush High auditorium, a dessert was held for the annual Senior Scholarship awards. Proud seniors who held a GPA of 3.0+ and their parents/families enjoyed this special evening, as they were lauded for their four years of diligent study. However, the best “treats” served were in the form of monetary scholarships, given to many worthy seniors.

The Brush Alumni Association was proud to be a part of this celebration, administrating sixteen scholarships, which, this year, totaled over $21,250! The first scholarship given by the association was in 1993, when Mr. and Mrs. Alan Skinner and Mr. and Mrs. Don Lamberton (1947 Classmates) established The John Jacque Memorial Scholarship. (Since that time, the Alumni Association has given away over $130,000 to deserving Brush seniors.) This year, the $1000 scholarship was awarded to Laura Milstein. Other recipients were:
