2001 Samara Scholarship Recipients:

Samara Foundation is pleased to announce that four students will be receiving $1,000 scholarships for 2001. The Samara Scholarship was established in 2000 as an investment in the future of Vermont students who oppose discrimination and prejudice and who stand for the elimination of homophobia in our society.

Four graduating Vermont high school seniors have been awarded year 2001 Samara Foundation Scholarships. Elizabeth Bennett of Brattleboro, Isaac Evans-Frantz of Brattleboro, Elizabeth Lerner of White River Junction, and Chelsea Morton of East Dummerston were each awarded a $1000 scholarship.

The Samara Scholarship is designed to recognize students who demonstrate, through personal experiences and/or public commitment, a dedication to the interests of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (glbtq) community. For more information see our scholarship page.
