Georgetown Kiwanis Club awards scholarship to Troop 95 Eagle Scout

At Troop 95’s Court of Honor May 19, Georgetown Kiwanis Club President Ivan Neal presented the inaugural Merit Scholarship to Jaden Marshall McTeer.

A Troop 95 Eagle Scout, McTeer is attending Delaware Technical Community College and studying information technology.

Boy Scout Troop 95 has had a long-standing relationship with the Georgetown Kiwanis Club. In collaboration with Troop 95, the club established the Merit Scholarship Award to include a monetary prize of $500.

The Merit Scholarship’s goal is to recognize the achievements of a Troop 95 member who is graduating from a Sussex County high school.

Applicants submit an essay and complete a one-page form. Essays must be at least 500 words and should address how the Merit Scholarship will help applicants reach their career goals.

Several applications were received and reviewed by the scholarship selection committee for the inaugural award.
