As a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, I have the privilege of annually awarding State Delegate Scholarships to help local students pay for college. Providing these scholarships to residents of Gaithersburg and Rockville is a personal highlight of my job as an elected official.
In total, I awarded more than $52,000 to 114 amazing students from Rockville and Gaithersburg this year, including sponsoring one NAACP scholarship. An additional $10,000 in scholarships will be awarded later this summer to students at The Universities at Shady Grove.
There were many powerful personal stories told by this year's recipients. I was truly impressed by the drive and determination of all the students!
