With the purpose of helping students with the rising costs of a college education, the Knights of Columbus, St. Marys Council 1592, continues to help St. Marys residents with its annual Book Scholarship at the Lake Campus of Wright State University.
Three St. Marys residents attending the Lake Campus have been awarded book scholarships of $150 each for the 2001-2002 academic year. The students are Leslie Bergman, Dan Clark, and Amanda K. Gross.
