Seminole Awards College Scholarships<\/span><\/p>\n

This summer, Seminole presented college scholarships to students Josie Denham and Edgardo Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud and excited to provide these scholarship awards to such hardworking, deserving students,\u201d said Lisa Johnson, Seminole\u2019s CEO and General Manager. \u201cThe 2017 scholarship recipients are not only a part of the Seminole family, but they are both very active in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both students are relatives of Seminole employees at the Seminole Generating Station in Palatka, Florida and will be able to use the scholarship for school related expenses such as tuition, books, and fees.<\/p>\n

Josie Denham, daughter of Tim Denham, is a 2017 graduate of Palatka High School, where she maintained a 3.5 GPA, all while being a vital part of the varsity softball team and an active member of FFA, raising and showing her cattle at the Putnam County Fair. Josie has been recognized for her leadership skills and the commitment that she shows in all that she does.<\/p>\n

Edgardo Gonzalez, son of Ed Gonzalez, graduated from Matanzas High School in Palm Coast. \u201cI want to thank Seminole for the\u00a0opportunity they have provided me through this scholarship award,\u201d says Edgardo. Edgardo has been accepted to the University of Central Florida as a \u201cTop 10 Knight\u201d based on his outstanding academic achievement in high school.
