Congratulations to the 2020 DSF Scholarship Award Winners!
It was incredibly difficult to pare down the applicant pool, as each student was outstanding in their own way, but blind copies of the applications were reviewed by the DSF Scholarship Committee (consisting of four retired DS agents and one active agent) and ten students were selected this year! Each student will receive a scholarship of $2,500 which is to be used for their college education.
All of the applicants had impressive academic and extra-curricular credentials and are to be commended for their achievements. We wish all of the candidates who applied for the scholarship the very best in their college careers.
