Our 2022 Scholarship winner was Sam Shelly, who attends Vassar College. He wrote after his first year: "I'd like to tell you again how grateful I am for the scholarship you awarded me last year. Highschool graduation feels so long ago because my first year at college was just incredible. Vassar College has introduced me to new areas of study, like computer science and coding. I've made many new friendships, joined the ultimate frisbee team, ate well in the cafeteria, and took the train into NYC - many times. It's been a great first year. I'm home in Mt. Shasta for the summer and it looks so different now, and more beautiful than ever. I appreciate your award and vote of confidence in me."
