2008 Carl Parsell Scholarship Winners

The 2008 Carl Parsell Scholarship Selection Committee named three exceptional high school seniors as recipients of scholarships. These students will each receive a $1,000.00 scholarship. Every year the Carl Parsell Scholarship Fund receives a new group of promising scholarship applicants, and this year was no different. Our 2008 scholarship applicants were richly diverse, had multiple talents and accomplishments, and have given back by volunteering in their local communities. Each and every applicant was deserving and most worthy of the Carl Parsell Scholarship, making the scholarship selection a very difficult decision. We thank all of the 2008 applicants for the time they put into their application, and hope that those who did not receive a scholarship this year will reapply in 2009.
