Nicholas was a bright seven-year old who was killed in a senseless shooting while on vacation in Italy. Nicholas’ parents started the Distinguished Student Awards because they wanted to recognize young people who are working hard to make the most of their lives and develop their unique gifts and talents, and who are now about the age that Nicholas was when he died. Nicholas’ parents donated the money they had saved for his college expenses to fund a scholarship to recognize a gifted student in each state, every year from 2000-2013. When the funds ran out, WATG decided to continue this recognition in Wisconsin. An essay composed by the student, and a recommendation letter from someone other than a family member are required to complete the application. The student essay should be about a special area of interest and may be in the areas of academics, leadership, or the arts. Students must be in grades 3 - 6 at the time of nomination. A WATG selection committee will review the applications and make the $250 award based upon MERIT. Visit https://www.watg.org/awards--scholarships.html for more information Applications are due June 15.
