Three $1,000 scholarships were presented to Estero High School seniors on May 5 thanks to the Estero Chamber of Commerce, Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) and the Estero Historical Society.
Students were asked to submit a two-page essay on one of the following topics: Business in the Estero Area (sponsored by the Estero Chamber of Commerce), Governance in the Estero Area (sponsored by the ECCL) and History of the Estero Area (sponsored by the Estero Historical Society).
Students were able to submit a separate essay for each of the above topics if they wished, and thus be eligible for all the awards.
Congratulations to J. Oelmann for receiving the award for both Business History and Village History, and to Clayton Chauncy for receiving the award for Governance History.
Kudos also to the Estero organizations for inspiring the competition and providing the financial support.
Mike Wasson and Terry Flanagan, ECCL, presented the $1,000 Governance History Scholarship to Clayton Chauncey.
Gail Langner, President, Estero Historical Society, presented the $1,000.00 Village History scholarship to J. Oelmann.
