Scholarships
The Bryan Palmer Fund awarded 8 scholarships to well deserving Perry Hall High seniors. We had over 30 applications and the committee told me it was a tough task to come up with only 8. As I said that night…I wish I could have given everyone who applied a scholarship.
The committee looked at each application with Bryan in mind. They kept his love of music and sports; his sense of family and friends; and his thoughtfulness and generous heart with them as they read each one. They said they saw Bryan in so many of the applicants which made the decision so much more difficult. In the end, the 2010 winners of the Bryan Palmer Scholarship were:
Jennifer Beimer Nicholas Bonomolo
Courtney Guth Justin Huesman
Joanna Kozlowski Zachary Miller
Michael Partin Jonathan Wilson
I can see Bryan, as well, in the winners. My heart pounded and my eyes watered as I hugged each winner that night. My mind was filled with the excitement, hope and potential that awaited each of them as they continued on their journey. Yes, my thoughts were interrupted occasionally with the ‘Bryan should be here’ thoughts, but that was not God’s plan. His plan was for us—all of us—to share the traits that made Bryan so special with the youth of today and each other, thus making the world a more loving place.
