SPCA Scholarships 2010

The SPCA Community Association sponsors a scholarship contest every year. This is limited to high school graduating seniors whose household is in good standing with the SPCA (have paid their dues). 1st place winner will be awarded a scholarship of $1000 toward the college of their choice. 2nd place winner will be awarded a scholarship of $500 toward the college of their choice. All competing essays will be judged on spelling and grammar but heavily weighted on originality, feasibly, and justification. Volunteer members of the community will be the judges and do not know the identity of the author of the essays.

Alex Meadows $1,000.00 Scholarship     Read my essay I was born in Salt Lake City on April Fool’s Day in 1992. My parents are Kevin and Lynette Meadows and I am the 3rd of 5 children. For the first 14 years of my life I lived in Kearns, Utah. Then we moved to Tooele County and I started high school at Grantsville High. I went there from my freshman to my junior years. I recently graduated with honors with the first class of Stansbury High School. I play the trumpet, I am an Eagle Scout, and I enjoy reading and learning new things. I took concurrent enrollment classes through Utah State University during high school and I plan on attending USU as a full time student in the fall. I have not decided on a major yet for school. When I am 19 years old I plan on serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
