Ravens Roost #44 announces 2020 scholarship winners

(June 18, 2020) Ravens Roost #44 of Ocean City was unable to host its 23rd annual golf scholarship fundraiser, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was scheduled May 29 at the Ocean Pines Golf Club.
 
Despite the cancellation, the Ravens Roost #44 Scholarship Committee this week announced the presentation of six Scholar/Athlete awards. Scholarships awards, valued at $2,200 each, went to six students at three area high schools: 
 
Indian River High School:
 
Avery Congleton - University of Mount Olive
Kaylee Hall - University of Delaware
 
Stephen Decatur High School:
 
Mikayla Denault - Northwestern University
Isabelle Kristick - University of Maryland
 
Worcester Preparatory High School:
 
Saylor McGuiness - College of Charleston
Abbigail Nechay - Monmouth University
 
“These awardees’ academic and athletic achievements were outstanding,” Don McMullen and Bob Munroe, Scholarship Committee co-chairs, said in a joint statement.
 
McMullen and Munroe said the scholarship committee reviewed all applicants’ transcripts, GPAs, AP courses taken, SAT scores, athletic team participation and awards, community service, and essay submittals titled, “How Athletics are important in Today’s American Society” to determine the awardees.
 
“The success of 20-plus years of golf scholarship fundraisers from golfers, community businesses and major sponsors’ support has allowed us to award over $200,000 in scholarships to our local scholar/athletes,” they said. “We would like to thank tee sponsors and businesses for their continued contributions this year.”
 
McMullen and Munroe added the Scholarship Committee is currently seeking donations for 2021 scholarships.
