The Selected Educational Trust Board of Trustees announced the recipients of its 2023 Spring Cycle Second-Career Scholarship Program. Scholarships awarded this cycle include two sponsored by Gunderson Funeral Home: the Mark L. Justen Memorial Scholarship and the Michael R. St. Pierre Memorial Scholarship. The board selected four recipients from more than 20 applicants:

• Jessica Decker, State University of New York, Canton

• Kassandra DiNardo, Worsham College of Funeral Service, Wheeling, Illinois, awarded the Mark L. Justen Memorial Scholarship

• Lillian Schenck, Worsham College of Funeral Service, awarded the Michael R. St. Pierre Memorial Scholarship

• Katelynn Schooley, Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science.

The trust awards these scholarships to individuals who have chosen funeral service later in their career journey and currently attend mortuary school. Since its launch in 2010, the trust has awarded more than $90,000 in tuition scholarships to students pursuing mortuary sciences as a second career. selectedtrust.org
