Two 2013 graduates of Westfield High School have been awarded academic scholarships from the Westfield Chamber of Commerce.
Kyle DiGioia has been awarded the $1,000 Chamber of Commerce Scholarship. He will be attending Purdue University where he will study economics. Abi Perdue has been awarded the $500 Busby Eye Care Scholarship. She will be attending Taylor University where she will study international business and marketing.
In addition to submitting student information, each candidate wrote and submitted a 500-word essay addressing a chamber related question. Westfield Chamber Executive Director Julie Sole said this year’s question regarded the U.S. 31 project and how there are some who think the roadsides near the intersection of Ind. 32 might become a giant sign farm. Students had to create a solution and present their remedy, including all rationale for their decisions, and discuss the components that guided them through the difficult process.
