Sarah Cowell and Kelsey Clark Recipients of 2008 Tijeras Creek/OB Sports Scholarships!
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CALIFORNIA -Sarah Cowell and Kelsey Clark were both recently awarded a $500 scholarship as part of a value-added benefit from Tijeras Creek’s Creek Card program. The scholarships are awarded to the college-bound dependents of the cardholders. Established in 2008, the Tijeras Creek/OB Sports Scholarship program was created to provide an opportunity for children of current OB Sports-affiliated cardholders who have enrolled in the Creek Card (Tijeras Creek’s popular money saving loyalty program) to apply for a scholarship to be utilized for college tuition. Its purpose is to encourage the attainment of higher education goals by children of OB Sports – affiliated cardholders, based on achieving a high level of academic success during high school or college. In total, twelve $500 scholarships will be awarded from a number of participating OB Sports-managed facilities this year.
Sarah Cowell, daughter of Creek Cardholder Mike Cowell from Trabuco Canyon is currently attending California State University of Fullerton and studying Child Development. In addition to maintaining a GPA above 3.0 she also had logged hundreds of hours volunteering in the community, has accumulated over 200 hours in elementary class rooms and is active in numerous clubs and programs such as the Future Teachers of America.
Kelsey Clark, daughter of Creek Cardholder Todd Clark from Foothill Ranch, is a National Honor Student who graduated from Trabuco Hills High School with a GPA of 4.71. She is currently attending her first semester at University of Southern California where she is in the Freshman Science Honor program and carrying a double major of Chemistry and Broadcast Journalism.
