Flores will be attending SUNY Binghamton this fall and Chapter AJ is thrilled that it is able to assist her with her educational costs. Kimberly was awarded this scholarship because she exhibited excellence in leadership, extracurricular activities, community service academics and demonstrated a potential for future success.
Chapter AJ sponsored one winning candidate in 2009 and in 2012 seven New York State graduating seniors became STAR scholars. Chapter AJ is very interested in sponsoring another STAR scholar.
To be considered, candidates must be recommended to Chapter AJ by their counselors for this highly competitive scholarship by October 15, 2013. Any interested seniors should contact their high school counselors as soon as possible to get their applications in by the deadline.
