Widener University, Chester, has recognized the 2019 winners of the Widener University High School Leadership Awards. In its eighth year, the program recognized 163 students from high schools throughout the region for their abilities to stand up for what is right, address a wrong, and make a difference in their communities or schools.
The honorees include Tobee Stokes of York. Stokes attends William Penn Senior High School and has made a difference by showing integrity within the classroom, maintaining honor roll status, and assisting the school football team in its victories and academic success.
Winners were invited to a celebratory program at the National Constitution Center on March 28. They will also attend a leadership conference in the fall of 2019 presented by the Oskin Leadership Institute, Widener University's leadership program that aims to inspire and prepare students to become strategic leaders and responsible citizens.
Recipients will also receive a scholarship of $20,000 over four years should they enroll at Widener University as a freshman for undergraduate studies and will be named an Apogee Scholar. As Apogee Scholars, students will participate in a leadership development program at the Oskin Leadership Institute, which will include earning a Widener Leadership Certificate and participating in a variety of on-campus leadership development activities.
