On April 17, TGS senior Annika was awarded a prestigious scholarship by the Winyah Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, part of whose mission is to support exemplary students. Annika will use the DAR scholarship in the amount of $2500 to help cover her college costs this fall. Applicants had to submit their resume and letters of recommendation, then write an essay. This year’s topic was: What do you think is the most important problem our society faces?

“I wrote about how there’s a lack of individual thought among people,” Annika said. “We see others doing something and go along with it, without thinking of the consequences.”

The DAR gave out its scholarships and Good Citizens Awards at a small ceremony held in the Parish Hall of Prince George, Winyah. Family, teachers, and friends of the winners were on hand to hear excerpts from each winner’s essay and congratulate these outstanding students afterwards.

We are very proud of Annika for this wonderful achievement and grateful to our liaison Mrs. Laura DeChamplain and the Winyah Chapter of the DAR for continually supporting our school.
