Combined, the winners receive $5,000 award toward college expenses. The nonprofit foundation, now in its seventh year, has given almost $40,000 in scholarship funds to qualifying students. Unlike other purely academic scholarships, the R.J. Reby Foundation seeks out “the well-rounded student” by honoring academic as well as personal achievements. Welch meets many of the R.J. Reby Foundation’s Scholarship criteria as she has an excellent scholastic record (GPA -3.89), she played sports (volleyball, softball, track), was part of the Key Club, the National Honor Society and volunteers at Ann’s Place (Danbury). Currently, Welch works for the Pediatric Associates of Western, CT (Danbury). Robert J. Reby, president and cofounder of the R.J. Reby Foundation states, “The foundation was started because we believe in giving back to the community and wanted to encourage students who established a solid record of high school achievements to excel even further in higher education and beyond.” He continues, “The Foundation hopes to be a part of helping our local scholars to achieve their goals.
