Young, Burns awarded Chamber scholarships

Young, Burns awarded Chamber scholarships
Fernley High School graduates Alexis Young and Karli Burns are the recipients of the 2021 Fernley Chamber of Commerce Scholarship awards.

Both awardees share many successful traits. Both have had at least two years of being three sport athletes. Young will attend the University of Nevada and Burns will attend Boise State University. Each applicant showed an exceptional amount of appreciation for Fernley and the Fernley Chamber as well as performed volunteer work for the community.

The Chamber’s mission is to “Develop and support programs which stimulate our business environment, promote community growth and enrich our civic and social landscape.” The Chamber will be giving each of these deserving young women $1,000 toward their continuing education.

Hagen Comment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
