WAYNBESBURG – The Waynesburg Area Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund Committee announced the 24th annual $1,500 scholarship will be awarded to Allyson Younken of Waynesburg Central High School.
Younken, 17, daughter of Mike and Shelley Younken of Waynesburg, plans to attend Penn State University Main Campus to pursue a degree in animal science this fall.
