Locals named PEO scholarship recipients

DAVENPORT - The Philanthropic Educational Organization Chapter N announced that Emma Cormier of Davenport and Kassidy Koch of Reardan are this year's scholarship recipients Wednesday, May 1.

Each of these young women will receive a $500 scholarship while attending their chosen institution of higher knowledge.

Cormier, the daughter of Matthew and Lisa Cormier, is attending Boise State University where she will pursue a degree in Business Marketing.

Koch, the daughter of Kevin and Kristy Koch, is attending Oklahoma State University where she plans to major in Aerospace Administration and Operations.

The goal of the Chapter N scholarships is to recognize young women graduating from Davenport and Reardan-Edwall High Schools who have a desire to seek growth in knowledge through education, a willingness to contribute to their community and an aspiration for personal development, the P.E.O. said in a press release.

Chapter N was organized in 1907 as a P.E.O. encouraging women to "reach for the stars" through education. The Chapter has participated in sponsoring a number of scholarships and educational loans at the local and international level for over 100 years.
