From the Daily Sun:
Judy Reed chaired The Villages Apple User Group’s scholarship program for seven years while her late husband, Dexston, served as club president.
This year, the group was able to award money to three additional students through memorial scholarships in honor of Dexston.
“It was near and dear to him,”said Judy, of the Village of Winifred. People who wanted to do something in his memory donated toward the scholarship.”
On Tuesday,The Villages Apple User Group awarded scholarships to five Wildwood Middle High School students pursuing careers in technology-related fields.
Established in 2016, the group’s scholarship program has donated more than $20,000 to high school students since its inception The program aims to alleviate financial barriers that can hinder students from pursuing higher education.
“Every applicant expressed the need for financial help,” Judy said. “They are concerned with the high cost of education, the pressure on both students and parents, and attempt to avoid huge debt.”
