The DEA awarded three students the 2020 Dwight H. Persels Scholarships. Two recipients are chosen based on the highest GPA and the third is chosen from the highest GPA to a student who intends to study education. Each recipient is awarded $700. This year because of social distancing, we could not have our usual award celebration during our May Rep Council meeting, so instead, the scholarships were delivered, with a small cake and balloon, following social distancing guidelines.
Michael Hill is a student at West High School and the son of member Monike Hill and Jeremy Hill. Michael plans to attend the University of Iowa and study music education.
Emma Kizer is a student at Central Dewitt and the daughter of member Jennifer Kizer and Warren Kizer. Emma plans to attend the University of Northern Iowa and study criminology with a minor in Spanish.
Ashton Snarr is a student at North High School, and the daughter of member Jamie Snarr and Tod Snarr. Ashton plans to attend Utah State University to study psychology.
Congratulations to the recipients!
