Scholarship Awards Dinner
May 2024
This was our awards night when we present Scholarship awards to most deserving junior military cadets to assist their entry to college level academics.
Our scholarship awardee, was Abigale Swartzlander, Battalion Commander from East Forsyth High School and along with an arm’s length list of volunteer efforts has a grade point average that is off the chart. Our other awardee, Nicola Rush from North
Davidson High School, was presented her scholarship award by Al Chandler at her Battalion Awards ceremony.
Following the meeting we received the following letter:
"I am writing to thank you for the scholarship and for the opportunity to attend the MOAA dinner last week. I enjoyed having the privilege to meet and fellowship with the members and appreciated the warm welcome my parents, instructors, and I received. This scholarship will help me pursue my degree at Lee University, and I appreciate your generosity.
Best Regards.
Abigale Swartzlander"
