Five Brookhaven College students were recently recognized as LeCroy Scholars and awarded full scholarships by the Dallas County Community College District Foundation for the 2000-2001 school year. To qualify for the scholarships, students must exemplify outstanding leadership and scholarship and maintain a strong academic record, with a grade point average of at least a 3.0.
Students submit an application and essay, letters of recommendation and academic transcripts.
Katrina Castro is a sophomore visual communications major from Manilla, Philippines. She has attended Brookhaven College since the summer of 1999. Ms. Castro is a member of the Student Leadership Institute and Phi Theta Kappa honor society. She was an active volunteer for a church in the Philippines before moving to the United States. I see the LeCroy Scholars Program as part of the right direction for my life, as it will enhance my skills, not only as one of the leaders tomorrow, but as a person seeking improvement in humanity as a whole, Ms. Castro said.
