The Meninak Club of Jacksonville awarded $5,000 college scholarships last week to five high school seniors after an application and interview process. Recipients must have participated in the Youth Leadership Jacksonville program and must use the grants to attend an accredited four-year college or university. Meninak has granted 80 scholarships, totaling $400,000, since 1997. Those chosen this year and their intended college majors were (from left) Jaryd Tamares, Bishop John J. Snyder High School, pre-dentistry; Zoe Sieber, Darnell-Cookman High School, biomedical mathematics; Amy Nicotra, Fleming Island High School, pre-law and education; Adia Adkins, Fleming Island High School, pre-pharmacy; and Jonathan Jenkins, St. Joseph Academy, aerospace engineering. Leadership Jacksonville Youth Director Meg Folds, Meninak 2012 Scholarship Awards Chair Phil Ghiotto and Meninak President Pete Hallock are at the head table behind them.
