We are pleased to announce the winners of our two $500 scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year – Sarah McGowan and Meagan Nelford-Fracassi.

We received a total of 43 applications from students in 13 countries. There were some very good applicants, and it wasn’t easy to narrow the field to just two, but both Sarah and Meagan had well-written essays, well-defined career goals, and a laudable history of community service that demonstrated a commitment to Paying It Forward.

Sarah will be attending Princeton as a Sophomore, and Meagan will be attending USC as a Sophomore.

Congratulations, Sarah and Meagan. We’re glad we could be a part of helping you on your journeys.
