She is the daughter of John and Marlyn Howard of Bremerton and will graduate from Bremerton High School on June 12.
In the fall, Magday will attend Eastern Washington University where she plans to obtain a bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene. She will receive a total of $10,000 in scholarship funds to be paid out over the four years she is in college. In return, she will “pay it forward” by contributing a significant good deed or community service at least three times during her college years. The 2008 recipient, Kris Evron Matro, is currently studying pre-nursing at Olympic College in Bremerton.
Both recipients will help with the organization’s first annual fundraising event, Run It Forward, Bridge 2 Bridge, a run/walk family event scheduled for June 27. The 5K course will begin and end in Evergreen Park, going across both the Warren Avenue and Manette bridges.
The BHS Pay It Forward Scholarship targets low-income students with GPAs of 2.5 and higher who are among the first in their family to attend college.
