Aspasians group donates $40,000 to youth for college scholarships

The Rockwall Aspasians group, which sponsors the popular arts & crafts fairs on the Rockwall downtown square each Spring and Fall to fund college scholarships, donated $40,000 in scholarships recently to graduating high school seniors from Rockwall County.

According to Chairman Terri White, four $10,000 scholarships were awarded by the 35-woman group to two students each from Rockwall High School and Rockwall-Heath High School.

Rockwall recipients were Tyler Milner and Brooke Dilling. Brooke’s award is named “The Blake Finnell Memorial Scholarship.”

Rockwall-Heath recipients were Sara Eisenbraun and Jennifer Bujnovsky. Jennifer’s award is named the “Chad Leeuw Memorial Scholarship.”

The memorial scholarships were named to honor the memory of the deceased sons of two Aspasian members.

During the past 30+ years, the Aspasians organization has donated over $600,000 in college scholarships to nearly 100 students from Rockwall high schools, White said.
