KELSEYVILLE >> This year’s recipients of the J. Fletcher and Anne Elliott Educational Scholarship awarded last week at Kelseyville High School are seniors Nathaniel Carpenter and Victor Cacho.
Both have outstanding academic and athletic high school careers. Both ranked high in their class. And both had exemplary athletic success through their high school years with Nate playing basketball, baseball, and football and Victor four years of soccer.
Carpenter is going to San Jose State majoring in Political Science. Cacho is going to Sacramento State majoring in Criminal Justice.
“This scholarship will really help reduce stress on my month-end expenses allowing me to get a meal or buy a needed text book,” Carpenter said. “It’s a huge help not having to get more loans.”
Cacho agreed.
“This will allow me to focus on schoolwork knowing I will able to buy the text book more easily,” he said.
This year’s award is $10,000 to each recipient. This scholarship Foundation was originally established by the late Anne Elliott with the help of Rian Sommerfield at Nestegg Investment Consulting and is expected to fund future scholarships for decades to come in memory of her husband J. Fletcher.
