Seven students were awarded $1,000 checks as the first installments on up to four years of Carl W. Stenberg, Jr. Scholarship support. These young persons have turned their lives around through the Student Assistance Program. They were selected from among 20 finalists out of 70 applicants.

All of the applicants have successfully completed a Student Assistance Program and were recommended by their respective school SAP teams. Each of the recipients is eligible to continue receiving $1,000 a year for up to four years of post high school education as long as they remain drug and alcohol free and maintain at least a 2.5 average while in college.

A total of 33 scholarships have been awarded since the fund was established in 1993.
