The Community College of Vermont has announced the recipients of the 2015-2016 Student Leadership Scholarship. The Student Leadership Scholarship is awarded annually to a student from each of the College’s 12 academic centers and the Center for Online Learning.
This scholarship is designed to honor students who demonstrate significant leadership abilities in their classrooms, their academic centers, or their communities through service learning, volunteer work, and involvement in student life at CCV. In addition, student leaders must be a degree student, be enrolled for spring semester, have completed at least 12 credits, be in good academic standing, and be a leader in their community.
“We are very proud to honor these 13 incredible students for their contributions to their communities and their college,” said Ryan Dulude, CCV’s assistant director of financial aid and a member of the Leadership Scholarship Committee. “It is inspiring to see so many CCV students go above and beyond what’s expected of them, becoming leaders both in the classroom and outside of it. These exceptional students help make CCV such a special place, and it is wonderful to see them recognized for their achievements.”
Each recipient will receive an award of $1,000 , a certificate of achievement, and an invitation to a recognition lunch with CCV President Joyce Judy this spring.
This year’s thirteen recipients are:
Tristen Thayer, Bennington academic center
Cheryl-Ann Caldwell-Lahue, Brattleboro academic center
Joshua Wilkinson, Center for Online Learning
Christina Frost, Middlebury academic center
Cynthia Davis, Montpelier academic center
Brandin Bourdeau, Morrisville academic center

Jerrica Magill, Rutland academic center
