Ten young scholars from across the United States and Canada were selected by the GCIU Scholarship Committee as winners of the Anthony J. DeAndrade scholarships for the year 2000. The winners will receive an award totaling $2,000 in increments of $500 per year over four years to assist them with their continuing education in schools of their choice.

"We are proud that these sons and daughters of our members are able to continue their education and become better citizens in both the U.S. and Canada. Education is a priority with the GCIU, and I am happy we can help them with their scholastic goals," said GCIU Pres. George Tedeschi.

Two scholarships are awarded in each of five geographic regions. The 2000 winners are:

Region 1: Jennifer A. Joy, daughter of Nassau County 406C member John F. Joy; and Elizabeth Frances Lewis, daughter of Philadelphia 14M member Norman Charles.

Region 2: Amber Marie Kroeger, daughter of Joan Marie Kroeger of Effingham 39B; and Daniel Wynnett Kinzelman, son of Racine 254M member Marc Jude Kinzelman.

Region 5: Christopher Robert Smith, son of Robert Neil Smith of British Columbia 525M; and John Allen Versluis, son of Edward Adrienne of Hamilton 176C.

The scholarship program is open to high school seniors graduating in January or June of the current school year and recent graduates who will not have completed more than a half-year of college by September 1. Previous scholarship winners are not eligible.
