West Greene grad gets scholarship
The American Legion Post 416 of Graysville presented a $1,000 scholarship to Anna Salai, 18, a 2013 graduate of West Greene High School. Salai, daughter of Mike and Carol Salai of Wind Ridge, is attending Drexel University where she is majoring in graphic design.
This scholarship, the second for the American Legion, is presented to a West Greene senior who plans to attend a post-secondary school in a degree of certification program. The scholarship is awarded based on a 500-word essay about what America means to him or her.
The theme of the essay this year was “How the Constitution affects me.”
Applicants had to possess a minimum grade-point average of 2.75 to be eligible for consideration. The top three candidates were required to attend an interview with the American Legion Scholarship Committee.
Selection of the winning candidate was determined based on the interview, essay and completed application.
