Alex Simon was the recipient of the $500 Altoona Palooza scholarship at the SE Polk Dollars For Scholars 2012 Scholarship Recognition Night held on May 9. Adam McRoberts presented Alex with the award.

Over $200,000 and 288 scholarships were awarded that night. The evening gave a positive message to the seniors by showing how much this community cares about the future extended education of our youth. Thank you to Sherry Lynn Photography for the photo.
Alex Simon is planning on using his scholarship money towards his future education at Buena Vista University where he will be attending this fall. Alex says, “Without your support and generosity to Dollars for Scholars, many high school students would not have the opportunity to attend college. My goal is to someday be able to give back to this community just as your organization has done.”
Congratulations, Alex!!
