Nine area high school seniors have been named recipients of the 2006 Frank James - SkyLine Scholarship. The scholarships honor the memory of longtime director and former SkyLine President Frank James and are awarded to children of SkyLine members who reside in our five-county service area. The awards were announced at area high schools' Awards Day programs, and will be officially presented to the students at SkyLine’s Annual Meeting in early October. Annually, SkyLine awards five $1,000 scholarships, renewable for up to four years, to students pursuing a four-year college degree and five $500 scholarships, renewable for up to two years, to students pursuing a
community/technical college degree or vocational program.
