the LAKER | 19 A recent Midlakes High School graduate has been selected to receive the Farash Foundation First in Family Scholarship, enabling her to attend FLCC and a future transfer school at no cost. Katelyn Roland of Phelps is planning to study nursing and will be the first in her immediate family to go to college. “Katelyn demonstrates a high level of maturity and determination, and we are confident in her ability to excel at FLCC,” said Brie Chupalio, director of development at FLCC. Katelyn’s application was a standout because of her extensive list of volunteer and extracurricular activities. She was a student council leader and belonged to the peer support club Youth to Youth. She also played varsity softball and belonged to the racquet and chess clubs. She started at FLCC this fall having already earned credits for Advanced Placement and several Gemini courses offered by the College in her junior and senior years. “I took these challenging courses because I am going into the health field, where education level is important to provide the best possible care for patients,” said Katelyn, who aspires to eventually transfer to St. John Fisher College and become a nurse practitioner or doctor in a family practice. The Farash Foundation supplies all funds needed to pay for the Farash scholar’s tuition, room and board, textbooks and fees. Support continues for up to five years if the recipient seeks a bachelor’s degree. In 2012, the Farash Foundation First in Family Scholarship Program began providing scholarships for students who are first in their family to attend college at institutions of higher education in Monroe and Ontario counties. In addition to FLCC, participating colleges include Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Monroe Community College, Nazareth College, Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester Institute of Technology, St. John Fisher College, SUNY Brockport and the University of Rochester.
