13 Berkley Students Received Large Scholarships from Huntington Bank
On Thursday, May 22, thirteen Berkley High School seniors were presented with scholarships from Huntington Bank. These scholarships were a collaboration between Huntington Bank and Berkley Schools. In the third year of this program, Huntington Bank Chairman of the Board of Directors Gary Torgow continued the collaboration and support with Berkley Schools. Mr. Torgow is a Norup alumni and is known for his generous support of local communities.
The scholarship requirements included, among other things, students who exemplified leadership, were involved in their school community and were planning on attending a college, university or trade school upon graduation.
