Scholarships were awarded in June to Oliva McKissick, Jaya Jost, Alivia Schmidgal and Chloe Quarles — recent Coronado High School grads — for the amount of $2,500 each.
The scholarship program, funded by the Coronado Junior Woman’s Club, honors the late Marilyn Foster, a local military spouse known for serving the Coronado community.
The four recipients were recognized as young women in Coronado who show promise in community service, according to Jamie O’Grady, the co-chair of the Marilyn Foster committee.
“These four young women — Olivia McKissick, Jaya Jost, Alivia Schmidgal, and Chloe Quarles — truly embody the spirit of Mrs. Marilyn Foster,” said O’Grady. “Just as Marilyn believed a community’s strength lies in its people, these scholarship winners have demonstrated exceptional dedication to service and promise for future contributions.”
