From LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF BOWLING GREEN
Each year the LWVBG awards one or two scholarships to eligible seniors from Bowling Green High School or Penta Career Center. The students chosen to receive the 2022 scholarships are Elsa Concannon and Lauren Goberman, both seniors at Bowling Green High School. They will receive a one year membership in the LWVBG in addition to a $1000 scholarship.
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.
Elsa Concannon, daughter of Karmen Concannon and Tim Concannon, has been accepted by several universities where she plans to study the natural sciences. In high school she was active in DECA, Stucrew, track and soccer teams. Elise participated in many out of school activities such as Girl Scouts, Buckeye Girls State, her church, and served as a tutor to elementary students.
Lauren Goberman, daughter of Alexander Goberman and Claire Silverman, plans to attend Bowling Green State University’s Honors College with a goal of attending medical school after receiving her undergraduate degree. In high school Lauren maintained a high GPA while participating in madrigals, marching and symphonic band, chorale, Stucrew, and student government. She was active as a volunteer at a number of local organizations.
The students received the awards at the Senior Scholarship Awards Program on May 4 at the Scholarship Awards Night.
