As the College of Southern Maryland begins its fall semester, 30 incoming freshmen and 15 returning sophomores from Charles County have been added to the rolls of students who have benefited from the generosity and support of the Greater Waldorf Jaycees since 2000.
In the past 11 years, the Jaycees have funded nearly 200 scholarships through the CSM Foundation.
“The growth of the college has been outstanding, and with the current economy, we are seeing impressive enrollments,” said CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried. “This is why the partnership with the Greater Waldorf Jaycees is so important to CSM.”
This year, according to Gottfried, the college had a significant increase in applications for the Jaycees scholarships. At the scholarship awards ceremony, Gottfried told students that he recognized that many have stayed focused despite various challenges and obstacles.
“As the president of the College of Southern Maryland, I must say that meeting our talented students, who are our future leaders, teachers, engineers and scientists, is one of the favorite parts of my job. It also gives me a chance to thank the families, friends and career counselors that have been their support system,” said Gottfried. “We are pleased to work with the Jaycees to assist students in realizing their academic goals and believe that this investment will benefit not only the individual students but also their families and our entire community.”
The 2011-2012 Greater Waldorf Jaycees Scholarship Recipients are Amber Allen, Tiffani Bivins, Richard Bool, Jason Brown, Ashley Chappell, Fredrika Chase, Nicole Cushenette, Olivia Davis, Debra Dewaters, Marilyn Estoque, Juan Gable, Samantha Geckle, Chanel Greenwood, Megan Hennessey, Lorenzo High, Datrice Hill, Nicolette Jenkins, Victoria Jenkins, Caitlin Machnicki, Myra McMichael, Mechole Mills, Amber Moon, Sybille Moussi, Andrew Parry, Harsh Patel, Andreaa Phillips, William Pike, Paul Romero, Malcolm Young and Jordan Zeitler.
