On Wednesday evening, June 15, Danielle Kerendian was presented with the ONS (Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery Specialists) Scholarship during the 38nd Greenwich Scholarship Association (GSA) awards ceremony.

This year, the Greenwich Scholarship Association awarded more than a half-million dollars to 119 high school seniors. A total of $517,300 was distributed, which came from $352,300 donated by local sponsors and $165,000 from GSA endowments.
Founded in 1978, the Greenwich Scholarship Association provides need-based college scholarships for graduating seniors living in Greenwich, Connecticut or attending Greenwich public, private or parochial schools. The mission of the all-volunteer organization is to match students in need with companies offering scholarships in order to further the educational opportunities of Greenwich students.
