The Bay Area Community Foundation (BACF) has announced that 238 students will receive a total of over $264,000 in scholarships on Monday, June 6, 2016, at 5:30 p.m.

Over 500 donors, scholarship recipients and their families will gather at the DoubleTree Hotel-Bay City Riverfront, to celebrate the students' accomplishments.

Carolyn Wierda, Executive Director of the STEM@SVSU program and Co-Director of the SVSU Gerstacker Fellowship program, will be the keynote speaker. Prior to her work with SVSU, Wierda had a distinguished career in K-12 education, moving from classroom teacher to elementary school principal and assistant superintendent before being named superintendent of Bay City Public Schools, a position she held for five years.

Wierda is also a member of the Bay Area Community Foundation's Bay Commitment Scholarship program Steering Committee.

Molly Fogg will be the evening"s second speaker. She will speak from her unique perspective as a past scholarship recipient, a parent of scholarship recipients and, most recently, a scholarship donor. When her son passed away in 2008, her family created the Trevor D. Leser Memorial Scholarship fund to help other students the way she and her children had been helped.

"The Class of 2016 recipients will be awarded 309 separate scholarships totaling more than $264,000," stated Eileen Curtis, President & CEO of the Bay Area Community Foundation. "These scholarships are made possible by generous donors who have created endowed funds at the Bay Area Community Foundation. Our donors recognize the value of education and understand how financial obstacles can often prevent achievement of educational goals.

We are very proud that the Foundation serves as the facilitator of financial assistance to Bay and Arenac County students. Over 85% of the students who receive Foundation scholarships attend college within 100 miles of Bay County."

The 2016 Bay Area Community Foundation scholarship recipients are: Adrianna Ackerman, Haila Ackley, Alisha Adkins, Lindsay Alarie, Libby Amley, Jared Anderson, Morgan Anthony, Loren Appold, Leia Archangeli, Autumn Arsenault,
