JWCC awards presidential scholarships to three area students

QUINCY — Three area high school seniors recently earned two-year full-tuition John Wood Community College presidential scholarships. Winners were Kannon Dickerman, Kenley Kurfman and Madison Metz.

Dickerman is a student at Quincy Notre Dame High School and a son of Shawn and Jennifer Dickerman. Kurfman is a student at Liberty High School and a daughter of Mike and Renea Kurfman. Metz is a student at Brown County High School and a daughter of Jerod Metz and Sarah Allen.

Students each submitted an application, résumé and letter. Winners were selected based on high school leadership activities, grade point average and performance during an on-campus interview conducted by JWCC faculty, staff and students.

Presidential scholarship recipients must participate in leadership and service activities as they complete requirements for associate degrees during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years at JWCC.

In a press release, JWCC president Bryan Renfro said, “JWCC’s presidential scholarship is an outstanding opportunity to recognize our district’s talented high school students.”
