This fall the Kiwanis Club of Lehigh Acres will have awarded 58 scholarships to students who will be attending colleges and universities all across the\u00a0United States. The awards totaled $156,450.00 and range from one year to four years in duration, according to Rick Anglickis chairman of the scholarship committee for the Kiwanis club.<\/p>\n
At award ceremonies at\u00a0Lehigh\u00a0Senior High School,\u00a0East\u00a0Lee\u00a0County\u00a0High School,\u00a0Dunbar\u00a0High School,\u00a0Evangelical\u00a0Christian\u00a0High School, and\u00a0Riverdale\u00a0High School, Lehigh Kiwanians were present recognizing those students who were graduating and receiving Kiwanis scholarship awards for this fall. The awards were presented to graduating seniors who all live in Lehigh Acres.<\/p>\n
These awards and all of the Kiwanis community, school and youth program sponsorships were made possible because of the wonderful people who donate and purchase clothing and household items of all kinds from the Kiwanis thrift store located on\u00a0Homestead Road\u00a0according to Damon Shelor, Kiwanis Store manager. Kiwanis club president Bruce Boyd said \u201cThis would not be possible without the many volunteers who donate their valuable time, talents, and energy at our store and I want to especially thank them, their neighbors, and their family members who have supported us in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with these scholarships, five additional Lehigh Acres students received Kiwanis scholarships that were awarded from endowed scholarship programs at\u00a0Florida\u00a0Gulf\u00a0Coast\u00a0University\u00a0and Edison State College.<\/p>\n
