A Scholarship program was launched last year in the memory of Makenzie Hess and her mother Mona Hess who’s lives were both tragically taken in the Summer of 2012. A friend of the family, Kevin Stone will be running the scholarshipagain through a GoFundMe page. Last year’s scholarship was focused around Anti-bullying, this year’s focus will be around Domestic Violence.

In order for the students to qualify for the scholarship, the students will have to write an essay describing what their school has done to raise awareness about Domestic Violence, and what further steps the school could take to greater impact the students.

The current GoFundMe goal is set at $2000. The student to receive the scholarship will be announced during Senior Award Night at Conestoga Valley High School starting at 7pm on Thursday, May 21st.
