KELSEYVILLE >> This year’s recipients of the J. Fletcher and Anne Elliott Educational Scholarship awarded at Kelseyville High School are seniors Kevin Sanchez and Jason Gentle.
Both students ranked high in their class, demonstrating outstanding academic and athletic high school careers. And both had exemplary athletic success through their high school years, with Sanchez playing football, track and cross country, and Gentle playing four years of baseball, along with wrestling and cross county.
Sanchez is going to Sacramento State University, majoring in Chemistry. Gentle will head to UC Davis to major in Biology.
After receiving the scholarship, Sanchez said, “This scholarship will really help reduce time needed to work a job allowing me to study even harder.”
Gentle followed by saying, “This will allow me to cover my whole tuition at UC Davis and take a huge weight off my shoulders.”
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.
