Congratulations to the following high school seniors who
were selected to receive the 2009 FOPA Scholarship Awards.

Ms. Adrielle Gerics (Conneaut, OH) and Ms. Alexandria Webb (Geneva, OH)
will both receive $4000 four-year scholarships. These two fine scholars will be presented with their awards at the 67th Annual F.O.P.A. Conference
in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday, July 27th, 2009.

Congratulations to high school senior, Mr. Joshua Westfall, (Parma, Ohio),
who was selected to be the Alternate and will receive $500.00.

The F.O.P.A. Scholarship Committee wishes to thank all of the students and
their parents for your entries. It is always a difficult task to select our
scholarship finalists. Please remember that since they are the children of
F.O.P. members, we hold them especially dear to our heart.

We wish them good luck and that all their dreams come true.
