2005 Samara Scholarship Recipients:

Samara Foundation is pleased to announce that three students will be receiving $1,000 scholarships for 2005. 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.

Three graduating Vermont high school seniors have been awarded year 2005 Samara Foundation Scholarships. Larson Hogstrom of Killington, Lauren Parker of Williston, and Gavin Rouille of South Burlington were each awarded a $1,000 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, transgender and questioning (glbtq) community. For more information see our scholarship page.
