Wake Forest’s prestigious scholarship program, the Trentini scholarships, will be awarded at a dinner Saturday night, April 14, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Wake Forest Baptist Church Fellowship Hall.
There are 13 contestants who were chosen late last year, six seniors each from Wake Forest High School and Heritage High School who plan to attend four-year colleges. The thirteenth, the $1,000 scholarship for a community college, has already been awarded to Stephen Knecht who graduated early from Wake Forest High School and is enrolled at Wake Technical Community College.
The top winner at Wake Forest High receives a $30,000 scholarship; the winner at Heritage High receives a $5,000 scholarship. The other selected students at Wake Forest receive $1,000 each, and those at Heritage receive $250 each.
The six selected at Wake Forest are Ally Cefalu, Hannah Dion, Jonathon Hughes, Nicolas Kelly, Isaac Lanzon and Erica Spruill.
The six at Heritage are Alexis Harper, Dominic Manzo, Evan Savage, Kayla Cook, Lea Yorke and Samantha Quiroz-Guiterrez.
