The Tri County Independent Insurance Agents Association is getting ready to start the award process for our two prestigious memorial awards. As professionals who are involved in our local communities, we are offering two awards to qualifying seniors attending high schools in these communities. If you know any graduating seniors who will be heading to college next fall make sure they apply for these awards.

The “JOEL S. POLLACK” Memorial Scholarship. On Memorial Day weekend in 1998, a drunk driver tragically killed one of our esteemed members. Joel was 35 years of age and was a highly regarded member of our industry and believed strongly in continuing education. Tri County established an educational scholarship in his honor to assist a graduating high school senior in furthering his or her education.
Tri County will award a $2,500 scholarship to a student in the graduating class of 2008, to be used towards expenses at the college of their choice.

The “STEPHEN T. DOOLEY COMMUNITY SERVICE” Scholarship. Steve was a major influence in the formation of the Tri County Association. He was president of our organization, a highly respected insurance professional and very active in his community, mostly as a volunteer in charity and youth activities. Steve died from cancer in February 2005 and we thought there was no finer way to honor him than to establish an ongoing scholarship in his memory, in the areas he cherished and worked so hard in.
$2,500 will be awarded to a high school graduate who has and continues to demonstrate exemplary community service, to be used towards college expenses.

The following will be considered when evaluating and choosing the winning applicants for each of these awards: All applications must be submitted before April 1, 2008.

Applicants may apply for both awards and must mail the application(s) (also on our website) and supporting documents to our association address below. These forms may also be downloaded from our website – www.tricountyagents.com
