Each scholarship recipient took a few moments to express their thanks and tell a little about their education and career goals. 

The program also included two previous scholarship recipients who each delivered an inspiring recount of their lives and education.  Savannah Hodge Merritt Class of 2016 from Coffee County High School and Rylan Wolkonowski Class of 2021 from Franklin County High School. Both expressed heartfelt thanks for STLS’s part in helping them reach their goals.  We are blessed and thankful to both of these young ladies for taking the time out of their busy schedules to share their lives with us.

STLS would like to thank every special person who joined these wonderful young women and men as we know that without your support they would not be the wonderful people that they have surely become.

A special thank you to the members of the STLS Scholarship Committee!  Without your hard work and loving care for this program, we could never have achieved all that we have done!
