SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT
Anthony Reyna winner of the 2024 Wayne A Piccin Memorial Scholarship
I am proud to announce as Amici Club president that the club's scholarship committee, chaired by Mary Ann Williams, have chosen a winner of the 2024 Wayne A. Piccin Memorial Scholarship. Mary Ann's announcement is listed below. Many thanks to the committee for their diligent work in selecting a winner. The club received an all-time high of thirteen applications. Next year the scholarship will be renamed “The Mary & Wayne Piccin Memorial Scholarship” to honor Mary’s long tenure as the previous scholarship committee chairperson.
“It is with great pleasure and admiration that I announce the winner of the 2024 Wayne A. Piccin Memorial Scholarship. The Committee comprised of Lina Hallstrom, Ellen Hines, Luciano Sestito and Marilyn Twining along with myself have selected Anthony Reyna as this year's winner.
Anthony is a senior at Lemont High School, and will attend the University of Illinois at Champaign with the goal to receive a degree in aerospace engineering and ultimately work for NASA. He plans to further his knowledge and obtain a master's degree and possibly a PhD in the field. Anthony has been on the High Honor Roll every semester during his high school years. He also has received an award for his excellent score on the Illinois Science Test. Anthony has volunteered to package meals for children in need, worked with the park district at the children's Christmas Party, assisted at the Earth Day celebration and at the school's concessions stands, and also volunteered at Feed My Starving Children. Anthony indicates his Italian Heritage has shown him the importance of family, hard work, faith, and dedication. I AM CONFIDENT IN THIS SELECTION."
