Chapter 78 2019 Scholarship Awardees
Congratulations to our 2019 Scholarship recipients
​
The William “Bill” Fulwider Scholarship is for students of the families of combat-wounded veterans and the Community, merit-based scholarship is offered to all eligible students in Sonoma County.
​
There were more than a dozen qualified applicants this year for these scholarships; the most in many years. There were three high school seniors whose qualifications were exceptional. These students were chosen by our Scholarship Committee to receive Chapter 78 scholarships for 2019. The Chapter thanks all the student applicants who submitted applications and we wish them all a bright and successful future.
