2011 Scholarship Winners Announced
For many years the Delaware Chapter has awarded a scholarship to a Delaware High School student to partly pay for the travel cost. This year we have awarded three such scholarships:
Camille Fontenelle, 11th grade student at Towle Institute, Newark
Amanda Laise, 11th grade student at Polytech High, Dover
Amanda Schoonfield, 10th grade student at Sussex Central, Georgetown
Seven applications were received for this scholarship, all of which were thoroughly examined by a committee. All were super students with high academic standards and ulmultiple extracurricular activities. The Delaware Chapter wishes all 118 students a very educational, challenging, and exciting travel experience.
For many years students from Delaware have traveled abroad on visits arranged by the People to People Student Ambassador National Office. Each fall a representative from the National Office speaks to Delaware students to introduce the idea of travel with People to People International. These assemblies took place in the Wilmington and Dover areas during the fall of 2010 and subsequent individual interviews with local delegate leaders who will travel with the students are complete. These orientation meetings are to acquaint the students with the geography, history, government, and culture of the places they will visit. This also helps them develop civic awareness, citizenship, and other skills to prepare them to become proud Student Ambassadors.
For travel in 2011, 118 Delaware students have registered for the Student Ambassador Program and will be traveling to the following geographical locations:
Grade School Students: Legends of the United Kingdom and Ireland (14)
Middle School Students: British and Irish Heritage (44)
High School Students: Discovery Australia (54) European Heritage (6)
