Each year the League of Women Voters Bowling Green awards one or two scholarships to eligible seniors from Bowling Green High School or Penta Career Center. The student chosen to receive the 2023 scholarship is Emma Ferguson, a senior at Bowling Green High School. She will receive a $1,000 scholarship in addition to a one-year membership in the LWVBG.
The League seeks to reward students who have displayed strong leadership qualities, have been active in community service, and have maintained at least a 3.0 GPA. Among the requirements for the scholarship is a demonstration of participation in one or more of the issues in which the League is involved, such as education, government, voting rights, and the U.S Constitution.
Emma plans to attend The Ohio State University with a goal of majoring in zoology. In high school Emma maintained a high GPA while participating in FFA, Drama Club, Cheerleading, and as a fundraiser for the Bobcat-A-Thon Dance Marathon. She was active as a volunteer at a number of local organizations.
Emma is the daughter of Melanie and Bill Ferguson of Bowling Green. She received the award April 27 at the BG High School Scholarship Awards Night.
