Greg Wilson from Chief Sealth High School was awarded the Finance Academy CPCU Scholarship for 2010

This year, the Pacific Northwest Chapter of CPCU has sponsored major funding for a scholarship award for students in the Seattle Public Schools Academy of Finance (AOF) program. PNW CPCU contributed $1,000.  Dave Mandt represented our chapter and presented the scholarship award during the AOF graduation ceremonies held at Franklin High School on Monday, June 7.   

The recipient of PNW CPCU’s $1,000 scholarship for 2010 is Greg Wilson, a senior at Chief Sealth High School.  Greg was enrolled in both the Academy of Finance and International Baccalaureate programs at Chief Sealth High School, achieving a remarkable 3.9756 cumulative grade point average.  He received three varsity letters in football and basketball and served as the football team captain in both his junior and senior year.

Greg also served as class vice president in 2007, class treasurer in 2008 and received the Chief Sealth High School Scholar Athlete of the Year award in both 2009 and 2010.  Greg will attend Claremont McKenna College in Los Angeles, California and plans to major in business and finance.

His community service activities include volunteer work at the VA Hospital, the Chief Sealth Basketball and Life Skills camp and a school-building trip to Guatemala.

Greg met with our chapter’s officers and board members at the June 18 planning meeting and is   a personable and impressive young man.  On behalf of the chapter, we offer our congratulations to Greg on his solid record of achievement and send our best wishes for success in his future pursuits.
