Leigh
Hammel was awarded the 2006 Jamie Boeckel
Memorial Scholarship Fund. Hammel, 18, of Warren,
VT (left), has received a $2,000 a year, four-year
scholarship toward her education at Stanford University,
where she is majoring in civil enginerring. An accomplished
sailor and dedicated scholar, Hammel attended the
Green Mountain Valley School in Waitsfield, VT, which
is geared toward aspiring ski-racers. Although she
ski-raced competitively in her youth, Hammel eventually
elected to focus her extra-curricular activites on
sailing and went on to win both the US SAILING Junior
Womens' Doublehanded Championship and US Youth Sailing
Championship in 2005.
The Jame Boeckel Scholarship,
awarded annually, targets those students involved
in competitive sailing who have presented the ability
to excel in a higher education environment and who
have not had the support or resources necessary to
prepare them for the challenges of college. |
