Brush Alumni Association Class of 2024 Scholarships

Original Release: 12/2/2024

On May 9, in the Charles F. Brush High School Performing Arts Center, the annual Senior Scholarship Awards Night was held. Proud seniors who earned a GPA of 3.0 or greater took the stage as they were honored. The families and parents of these seniors were acknowledged for the part each played in helping these seniors achieve these accolades. Monetary scholarships were presented to many of these students.

The Brush Alumni Association was proud to be a part of this celebration, administrating 13 scholarships which, this year, totaled $23.100! The first scholarship given by the Alumni Association was in 1993, when Mr. & Mrs. Alan Skinner and Mr. & Mrs. Don Lamberton (1947 classmates) established the John V. Jacque Memorial Scholarship. Since that time, the Alumni Association has distributed nearly $248,000 to deserving Brush seniors. This year, the $1,500 John Jacque Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Josh Nikiforov. New this year is the $1,000 Straub/Jakse Century of STEM Scholarship which was awarded to Gabrielle Johnson.

By contributing to these scholarships, Brush alumni have provided monetary help to these recipients' futures. We thank you, Brush alumni, for your years of loyalty and caring.
