ST. GEORGE BYU MANAGEMENT SOCIETY CHAPTER HONORS HIGH SCHOOL GRADS WITH SCHOLARSHIPS

ST. GEORGE, UTAH (June 20, 2016) — The St. George Chapter of BYU Management Society recently honored nine area graduating High School Seniors and one BYU student with cash scholarships to help them continue their education. The scholarships were based on a weighted scale that included academic record, community service, written essay, need based, and extra curricular activities. Not all the recipients are headed to Brigham Young University, nor is it a requirement, as some will enroll at Dixie State University, Utah State University, and Southern Utah University. Over the past seven years the St. George Chapter has given out over $58,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors and BYU Marriott School of Management students.

The BYU Management Society is a premier organization for business professionals to network, develop their careers, serve their communities and support BYU and the Marriott School.

Those who received scholarships were Emily Stewart, Kesha Jones, and Tyler Little from Dixie High School, Annelise Burr from Pine View, and Savannah Langston, Boston Wood, Tanner Sharp, Logan Mathews, and Abaigail Clark from Desert Hills, along with Charity Doty, a former Washington County student and current MBA student attending BYU-Provo.
