“We know this school year has been hard for students, especially for seniors,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Community Foundation, in a prepared statement. “We are very grateful for our donors, who help us help such hard-working students pursue their dreams. On behalf on the Princeton Area Community Foundation, we would like to congratulate each scholarship winner, and we wish each student a successful future.”

In addition to the more than $90,000 in scholarships, another $5,000 was awarded through the Thomas George Artist Fund Award to Kyle Lang, who recently completed his studies at Mercer County Community College. George (1918-2014) was an internationally recognized artist who set up the Thomas George Artists Fund to help young artists at the outset of their careers. Through the fund, $5,000 is awarded each year, to support an artist engaged in drawing and painting for up to six months directly following his or her graduation, according to the statement.
