Scholarship Winner Shidong Yan
Posted by Marianna Zeidler on Aug 01, 2024
Stevenson High School graduate Shidong Yan received the 2024 Lincolnshire Morning Star Rotary Club scholarship made possible by the Daniel & Nancy Bruzzini Scholarship Fund.  At this morning's club meeting, Jill Bruzzini presented the scholarship on behalf of her beloved late parents with a heartfelt speech that highlighted the criteria that made Shidong win this award.  Obviously, academic achievement and hard work are recognized by most student advocates.  Shidong's attitude of placing Service Above Self and his willingness to give forward, earned  Rotary's attention.  Moreover, Shidong's work on the disparity of mental health services received by students in different school districts was very impactful as well.  Former club member Nancy Bruzzini, who passed suddenly last April 17th, would have been 80 years old tomorrow.  Presenting the scholarship about her birthday brought an additional meaning to the occasion.
