Officials with the Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund, Wednesday night, presented two $750 scholarships to graduating Atlantic High School Seniors.  Clayton Saeugling and Emily McDermott were the recipients chosen by the scholarship committee.

The scholarship committee said they had some quality applications this year and were finally able to narrow it down to Saeugling and McDermott.  Asked on the scholarship application if you could choose one charity to donate to who would it be, Emily stated UNICEF and Clayton stated Wounded Warriors in Action.  Each of those charities will receive $200 from the Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund in their name.  The Foundation says it hopes that by continuing this extra giving, they can instill the importance of giving back in these young adults.

This is the 7th year for the annual scholarships to be handed out.  Applicants are asked to fill out a short narrative, supply their college acceptance letter, supply two letters of reference, have a 2.5gpa or better and supply an official 7 semester transcript.  The Foundation’s goal is to have the scholarships will be available for years to come.  Officials say with the continued support of the T-Fred annual golf outing,  that goal is becoming a true reality.
