Alumni-funded scholarships totaling over $5,100 were awarded at Benson Tech’s “virtual” award assembly, with one-year scholarships funded by the Benson Tech Alumni Scholarship Fund awarded to three seniors:

• Miguel Morgan, an electric major, plans on attending Portland Community College (PCC) this fall before entering into a journeyman electrician apprenticeship.
• Kimanh Nguyen, a media design major, plans to attend PCC to obtain an associate transfer degree to eventually get a bachelor’s degree in business marketing, education or design
• Jack Toczka, a computer science major, plans to attend PCC to obtain an associate transfer degree to eventually get a bachelor’s degree in computer science and logistics.

The BPHSAA wishes each of them well in the next phase of their studies and welcomes them to the larger community of Benson Tech graduates!

Rachael Lizo Katzen Kurynny, from the BPHSAA’s Scholarship Committee participated (for the first time) in committee deliberations to pick this year’s scholarship recipients.
