A new twist was added to the selection process this year where applicants could opt to orally interview with the committee for the chance of earning an extra $1,000 award. This was a way for the student to get interview practice and allowed the committee to be able to put a face to the paper application already submitted.

The winners of that exercise are:

Cole Beyer

Rubie Burge

Tanner Foss-Howard

Emma King

Annika Molina

McKenna Salvetti
