Luette Bourne, with Board Chair Virginia Goscinak prepares for the ceremony with award winners from previous years.

The Harvard-Kent Leadership Scholarship Project presents college scholarships each year to six students at the school who have demonstrated academic excellence and leadership skills in their classroom. Two students each from the third, fourth, and fifth grades are granted awards of $1000, which are held in trust for them until they attend college. Petie Hilsinger founded the program, and current Board members include Rosermary Kverek, Luette Bourne, and Tom Mousin. This year’s scholars were recognized at an awards ceremony on Friday May 10th.
