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 over 40 years. Every year 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 2023 Judith K. Bobe Scholarship recipients; Kenzlye Jeffers and Stephanie Montoya-Meza.
Stephanie Montoya-Meza from Washington Catholic High School plans to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.
Kenzlye Jeffers from North Daviess plans to attend Vincennes University, also with interest in Nursing.
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 CEO, Dr. Bertha Proctor 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.
