    Cummins Awards Senior Project Scholarships

     

    Cummins State Street Local Diversity Council awarded scholarships to two Columbus East students whose Senior Projects had a diversity theme promoting inclusiveness in the Columbus community.  In addition to a diversity theme a minimum of 25 hours of actual project work was also required. Selection was based on the overall project grade earned by the student, the potential for the project’s long term community impact, and level of creativity and originality.  This was the seventh year scholarships were offered by the Diversity Council.
