FPB awards $6,000 in scholarships to three local students

/

The Frankfort Plant Board awarded scholarships to three 2023 graduates from Frankfort’s public schools totaling $6,000. Since 2018, the FPB has recognized the importance of postsecondary education and the need to foster local students into the workforce by providing $36,000 to the FPB Youth Scholarship Program.

This scholarship program is administered by the Frankfort Rotary Club whose Youth Fund has provided more than $300,000 in scholarships over the past 35 years. The scoring of applications is based on academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, community service, work experience and financial need. Bonus points are given for courses taken in career and technical education.

Annually, one $2,000 FPB scholarship is awarded to one student from each of the three public high schools. The 2023 recipients are:

·         Isaac Antoine, a graduate of Franklin County High School, plans to attend the University of Kentucky and study civil engineering.

·         Ella Luking, a graduate from Frankfort High School, plans to attend Furman University or Rhodes College and study engineering.

·         Anna Lodmell, a graduate of Western Hills High School, plans to attend Western Kentucky University and study civil engineering.
