2011 Nancy Duree Natural Resource Scholarship Recipient
Alex Steele
Cascade High School, Leavenworth, Washington
The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival is proud to announce that Alex Steele was selected as the 2011 recipient of this year’s Nancy Duree Natural Resource Scholarship.
The $1500 scholarship is awarded annually to a north central Washington graduating high school senior, who is continuing their education in a natural resource field at an accredited college or university.
Steele will graduate from Cascade High School in Leavenworth, Washington in June. He will enter Whitman College this fall and plans to study Biology and Environmental Studies.
Festival Director Betsy McIndoe said, “We are really proud to honor Alex with this scholarship and we wish him the best of success.” The selection committee reviewed many highly qualified applicants this year but, “Alex was selected because of his passion for natural resources as evident in his essays, his strong academic record, and a well rounded showing of community service, leadership abilities, and strong recommendations,” said McIndoe.
Congratulations, Alex!
