Pace Community Action Agency Announces Judith K. Bobe Scholarship Winners

The Judith K. Bobe Scholarship program is named in honor of Pace’s former Head Start Director who worked within the program for over 40 years. Annually since 2010, Pace has allotted funds to provide at least two scholarships for graduating high school seniors that were previously in our Head Start program. Pace congratulates the 2024 Judith K. Bobe Scholarship recipients; Trinity Bradford and Blayr Foster.

 ·        Trinity Bradford from Sullivan High School plans to pursue her studies in Computer Science with a career in Cybersecurity and Programing while attending Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods.

·         Blayr Foster from Washington High School plans to attend the University of Indianapolis, while pursuing her degree in Elementary Education.  

Applicants were required to submit a typed essay about how Head Start impacted their school readiness and academic performance.  Recipients each received a $500 scholarship to help with their educational expenses.  Pace’s Executive Director, Tai Blythe states, “Our Head Start Program not only prepares students for kindergarten but prepares families for college. We plan to continue offering these scholarships provided through our fundraising efforts.” 

Former Head Start students from Daviess, Greene, Knox and Sullivan Counties are encouraged to apply for scholarships next year.  For more information about Pace programs and services, call (812) 882-7927 or visit us at www.pacecaa.org.
