Gelsinger is also honored with the opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors.

“It’s a great way to say thank you to the donors who support the Library and give scholarships to assist students’ financial needs,” Gelsinger said.

Requirements for the scholarship include academic achievement at either the high school or college level with a GPA of at least 3.0. Outstanding leadership skills, extracurricular involvement and need of financial assistance are also considered.
