OMC SCHOLARSHIP

                    2008 Annual Scholarship Report Chair Ken Ballou

The Osterville Men's Club annually awards $13,000 in scholarships to qualified graduating seniors at Barnstable High School in the form of five $2000 awards and one $3000 award in memory of Robert Grunewald.

The recipients receive their checks after they present first semester transcripts certifying they are in good standing. In actuality, the overwhelming majority have become honor students in college. The youngsters have attended a wide array of both private and public institutions including Duke, McGill, Harvard, B.C., B.U., Northeastern, Stonehill, U. Mass, U. of Texas, the U. of Virginia just to name a few.

Those selected are usually in the top 5-10 percent of the senior class, have above average College Board examination scores, strong backgrounds in school and community activities, demonstrate financial need and create highly favorable interview impressions.

 The Class of 2007 winners have all received their checks and have again proven to be outstanding college students and citizens. This spring the Class of 2008 submitted 55 applications for our six scholarships-a very strong ratio of better than 9-1. The committee recently completed the review process and selected the following six recipients.

ELIZABETH RUBINO of Hyannis received the $3000 Robert Grunewald award and plans to major in Business Administration at Stonehill College.

MELANIE BLACK of Centerville received a $2000 award and plans to major in Pre-Medicine at Boston University.

 ABIGAIL DREIER of Cummaquid received a $2000 award and will major in Art and Illustration at the Art Institute of Chicago.

 DEVIN MACDONALD of Centerville received a $2000 award and will major in Engineering at Northeastern University.

 MIMI NGUYEN of Hyannis received a $2000 award and plans to attend Boston University.
