PHS students Emelyn Mendez and Joseph Vele were two of 15 Westchester seniors selected to be Jandon Scholars by the Jandon Foundation. They each will receive $10,000 over four years of collage. Eligibility for the Jandon Scholarship program requires attendance at a public high school in Westchester and a family with substantial financial need. Students are chosen based on academic grades in junior-and senior-year, SAT scores and character. To encourage students to complete their education, the program offers an increase in the amount of the scholarship for each year they remain in school. Freshmen receive $1,000, sophomores, $2,000, juniors $3,000; and seniors, $4,000.
Congratulations to Emelyn and Joseph!
