The Knoxville Panther Scholarship Foundation is holding its annual Scholarship Night next Wednesday, May 19th at 7:00 p.m. in the Knoxville Performing Arts Center. Foundation President Curt Froyen says they’re able to support students because of generosity within the community.
“In our first year, we gave out $18,000 in scholarships. This year, we’re going to give out over $136,000. That only happens because of the support we’re receiving from families, individuals, alumni, businesses in Knoxville who appreciate the value of education and want to help our young men and women who are pursuing a postsecondary education. They want our young people to know we’re behind them, we’re proud of their success, and we look forward to following their future.”
The Knoxville senior class Baccalaureate will be held today at the Knoxville Performing Arts Center. It’s a spiritual ceremony to bridge the gap between high school and post-graduation plans. Senior Tara Uitermarkt is one of the organizers, and looks forward to coming together with the class to send everyone off to life’s endeavors.
“I think this event is important because as we grow up, we become different in spirituality. It’s important that we have this event because it’s a strengthening send-off. When we’re praying, coming together and including Christ, that’s when the true encouragement happens. It’s exactly what we need in order to go off into the world and do good.”
