MIA Students Receive Scholarship from Friends of Tigertail

On Tuesday, May 24th, Joanna Metzger from Friends of Tigertail had the pleasure of presenting two outstanding MIA seniors with scholarships of $1,000 each. Ms. Metzger, a board member for Friends of Tigertail, had made a donation to the organization and scholarships were selected as the best use of the funds due to the group's mission of environmental stewardship and education. The winners were chosen for excellent academic performance, an interest in science and the environment as their field of study in college, and a history of community service. The student award recipients are Lily Braun and Haylen Irvan. Braun will be studying Marine Biology at New College. Irvan will be studying Biology at the University of Florida with a concentration in teaching. Combined, they have performed approximately 300 community service hours.
